Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!

In terms of web engine, there are Gecko(Mozilla) and WebKit(Apple) for you to chose from, which isn’t that much choice.

I use Mozilla every single day and have done so for about 6 years now. Personally I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything but ads if I don’t a Chromium based browser.

I’ve been using Mozilla products for going on 20 years on my windows PCs, and other than websites arbitrarily deciding they don’t work on non chrome browsers, I’ve rarely had issues.

Wow, I haven’t used Lynx since the 90s. Admittedly, a text-only browser is an attractive idea.

Apparently it’s still being actively developed! I’m impressed.

Yes, and Mozilla browsers are an viable alternative. What’s the issue?

It is viable, just lack diversity in terms of web engine. Web tech today are just too complex to have another web engine. Even Microsoft ditch its EdgeHTML and favor Blink, the engine used by Chromium-based browsers.
