Firefox is basically the only non-WebKit/Blink browser out there.

Is WebKit bad? Gnome uses it for their browser

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

WebKit is not inherently bad. The thing that makes it not great in my opinion actually has nothing to do with the tech in this instance, but instead has to do with monopolistic practices from both Apple (who directly uses and develops WebKit) and Google (who forked WebKit into Blink).

Using Gecko browsers (Firefox and co.) en masse tells website operators that they should develop for that other option and officially support it.
