    My biggest problem with these forks is they’re still reliant on Firefox itself.

    I feel like we need a clean break.

      WebKit (e.g. GNOME Web, vimb, surf) is always there, and Servo is coming on leaps and bounds.

      Also, for your consideration, there are:

      • w3m (text-based, but supports displaying images with sixel, kitty, or framebuffer)
      • Links2 (surprisingly usable)
      • Dillo (better engine, but less features)
      • NetSurf (better again, but you can’t use a custom search engine and the JS engine doesn’t seem to work)
      • Chawan (text-based, but actually supports modern HTML and CSS; can display images using sixel or kitty; also supports gemini[1])
      • Ladybird (bad dev, good product)
      • Stargate & Duckling (HTTP to Gemini[1:1] proxies, so you can browse the web with Lagrange)
      • Pale Moon & Basilisk (based on a fork of Gecko; still use XUL; may be a bit less secure, but disable JS and you might be alright)

      Of course Librewolf, Waterfox, Tor Browser, ans Mullvad Browser are doing their best to resist the bullshit.
