    In the past 10 years it’s pretty much just been Firefox, Safari, Explorer/Edge, and Chrome. 99% of browsers are just skinned Chrome. Even Edge now. Opera’s engine died in 2013.

      Yup. Hence, the reason I originally suggested to use Firefox, only because it’s not built on Chromium.

        Just FYI, the word “hence” literally means “for this reason”. So you just said “for this reason the reason” lol.

        Chrome forked Webkit in 2012 to create Blink. It is reasonable to assume they have somewhat diverged since.

        They’re developed separately. It’s a hard fork so I consider them different.
