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
Once upon a time internet explorer dominated the web. The web bowed and catered to the jank that was internet explorer…at least until other browsers gained traction. To this day there are some websites that are only designed with internet explorer in mind.
We can go further. Just recently I saw a website that supposedly “is best viewed full screen, 800x600 or better, in Netscape”
Do you think I’ll still be able to view that website after I’ve time traveled to 1995 to use my Netscape? This seems like some kind of paradox.
Check local and state government websites. Its gotten way less common but a lot of them haven’t seen human eyes for 20 years let alone an update.
Fair point!

The only reason I stumbled upon it was because I wanted to check if the domain was available.
And I am convinced people didn’t think the same would happen when everything other than Firefox and Safari switched to being based on Chromium because “nah, it’s open-source, that won’t happen.”
Well, here we are. The only thing keeping Chrome from completely dominating is that iOS currently requires all browsers to use WebKit, but once there is a real Chrome on iOS, you know every site is going to tell iPhone and iPad users to “lol just download Chrome.”
This is not the situation I was hoping for, but I saw this coming years ago.
It’s now been replaced by “no message, but sort of only works with Chromium”. As a full-time Firefox user I unfortunately see an increasing trend of “not working right with FF”
