I don't like Chrome or Firefox, and I was already having problems with Firefox such as with their extension certificates expiring and taking days to update that. Still don't understand why they needed such a feature.

But what is a good fork for Firefox that does not keep the ad network and the ai features, while keeping everything else up to date.

I am looking for a good alternative browser, after trying WebKit, I found that WebKit generally isn't the most responsive browser engine and this doesn't have much to do with the hardware being used, as that other browser engines like Gecko and Blink perform notably smoother on the same hardware.

Qtwebengine on Falkon browser actually worked fine for me but knowing that qtwebengine is essentially Chromium I want an alternative, even though it works fine performance wise. Unfortunately it seems Firefox forks are the only direction to take.

What are the best lightweight open source browser engines? Not specific browsers, but the engines themselves, such as Webkit, blink, Qtwebengine, and others

If some of you can go in deph about:

Memory usage and speed difference between the different browser engines.

On social platforms in general you can run among some offensive content. How can Lemmy users avoid rule breakers on Lemmy and viewing certain content. Preferably without running into the rule offending comment and then having to block a user.

Is it better for users to view posts at latter dates, or the day the post is out the comments start coming? What can the user do to avoid such content. Are their steps the user can take before a moderator reviews a post such as word filters?
