I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y’all for your answers. :D

I want to link !@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914

    At least that was the reasoning a while ago.

    Not just that, but I also repeatedly read that blink is simply easier to build on, built to be used by others, while gecko is more tightly coupled with FF.

    and I still see people saying the don’t want to try Firefox because its memory inefficient

    It’s kinda funny, because pre-quantum, people said they used FF on lowish-memory devices. It’s only been since quantum (==Firefox 57, released in 2017) that I (with high amounts of RAM to spare) switched back to FF because before that Chrome was much faster if you had the RAM.
