Vivaldi and Librewolf are good recommends. So good call by the author.

I wish I could completely ditch Blink based browsers for Gecko ones, just because I dislike how dominant Blink is thanks to Chrome. But some sites don't render correctly on Gecko. So a fallback is needed.

Edit: I haven't used Vivaldi in a long time, and apparently it's not what I thought it was. Are there really no outstanding open source Blink-based browser out there?

We vote with our browser. And you are voting Chromium. It's ok, but you could do something about it.

I'm really not. I use Firefox 99.5% of the time (I need to switch to Librewolf). But there are some rare occasions - usually shitty old billing websites - where Gecko simply does not work due to said shitty old website. Not paying those bills is an impractical solution. Having a fallback for those rare occasions isn't unreasonable.

Sorry, I misunderstood then. I use Librewolf btw, great choice.
