Look, Another AI Browser

So, Atlas, Comet, Edge, Dia, Brave, Opera, etc are all Chromium.

And any browser on iOS uses the safari engine under the hood?

Looks like we are down to two browsers.

I use Orion as my daily driver, mostly because of its Kagi integration.

>any browser on iOS uses the safari engine under the hood?

Literally every browser on iOS. Up until iOS 17.4 you were not even allowed to have alternative browser engine. And that still holds true outside EU.

Firefox still exists.

First, Chromium is also based on WebKit so that means really only one browser engine.

Second, I imagine so many web sites and web applications have, knowingly or unknowingly, made themselves dependent on WebKit or Chromium specific behavior, it's almost impossible to write a new browser compatible with all (or even most) of the web.

firefox is the best, and gemini in google search results is enough, for me.

Zen is a really nice Firefox fork.

Ladybird is coming along.

There's Orion. It's not bad, but I don't love it either.

Zen is an incredibly thin layer on top of Firefox, with some rather glaring performance and battery life issues. Battery life in particular was already not one of Firefox's strong suits. It looks nice, there's some interesting and useful ideas there, but Zen is ultimately "just Firefox" the same way that all of these AI browsers are "just Chromium." Ladybird's the only new kid on the block for a decade.

Chromium is Blink and whatever common ancestor they share has diverged much over the past decade
