Maybe, but I'll stay on the non-Chromium end of things. I'll definitely try out some competitors, such as:

  • Mullvad Browser
  • Zen
  • LadyBird

I still support engine diversity, but that doesn't have to be mainline Firefox.

That said, I don't think the TOS is as bad as people claim, so I'm in no rush.

I was trying out Mullvad Browser and clicked on a Discord link and it launched the Discord app on my computer.

I was shocked that a security-oriented browser would launch an external application without warning by default. Even Chrome prompts the user first.

Hmm, that is odd.
