Every single time someone mentions they abandoned firefox for something "better", it's chromium based. Privacy is good, but the most important for me is to avoid monopoly/monoculture.

If they control the browser core they control the web, no two ways about it.

Falkon is based on QtWebEngine.
So not Chromium although they may share renderer, but last I heard QtWebEngine was based on Webkit.It is built on the QtWebEngine, which is a wrapper for the Chromium browser core.

Which engine does it use?
Probably chromium, haha, so no-go.

yes, they are not nearly on Googles level, not even comparably.
Secondly it's not even primarily about that, even if it made no difference, two competing shitty companies is better than a full on monopoly.
I'm not coming from google hate, I just want there to be more than one actor, therefore I will never ever pick the largest one.
Hmm. I'm using Waterfox rn.

Falkon is better for privacy than stock Chrome or Firefox, but I still find Brave or LibreWolf better than that.
I chucked Brave shortly after they decided to install a VPN service on my machine without consent or notification.
A service that silently reinstalled itself on Brave update.
A service that did not remove itself when you uninstall Brave. It took a lot of research and time to rip out the guts of that. I will never trust Brave again.
I think brave should be disregarded as something safe and privacy respecting if they were willing to silently whitelist Facebook trackers in the past. Then there is their whole crypto obsession.
Not taking any chances. https://winworldpc.com/product/ncsa-mosaic/1
Yes, that's right. I'm going to buy a 486, run windows 3.1 with trumpet winsock and be rid of tracking forever!
Until then:
Only problem is that you wouldn't be able to visit most sites, because Mosaic only supports HTTP 1.0. You could go for Lynx, though. Just remember to disable the cookie support.
Or, just spam V all the time!
I use Falkon for things I want to do outside my main browser, for instance if a site doesn't work, to see if it's on my side.
