What's with Mull being at the very bottom? It was the best Firefox app

With this, Vivaldi remains as the only usefull browser from Europe. Konqueror is usefull only for certain tech collectives.

List of alternatives

Gecko browsers, nice and valid, but if you need a sync function, if you don't have an own third party or selfhosted one, you need an account with Mozilla, which itself has turned in an advertising company and your account data is shared with Alphabet. They only exist because of the support from Google. Without sync, maybe Zen or Floorp.
Blink (Chromium) browser Brave, but ads and some shady relations with crypto companies and supported by Facebook. Opera is as private as Chrome or EDGE itself, even less
Otter Browser (Qt5), nice one, but with difficults to survive.
SSuite Netsurf (WebView), nice and fast, also reasonable private, but apart the inclusion of the SSuite online Tools, not much possibility to customize (Windows only) The last 2 maybe usefull in old PC with few resources.

There are also some other marginal forks, but mostly without warranty to be further attended and updated. This is the current panorama, anybody to their like.
