Comment on FF Evangelists

It is webkit based but has full compatibility for all Firefox and Chrome extensions. Plus in my experience it’s really fast at loading stuff - noticeably so.
It’s being developed by the people behind the Kagi search engine which is also really good

So not better than Firefox and OP is just silly.

Why would being WebKit based make it bad? Because it supports the web engine duopoly?

On an iPhone in specific it means there’s no real difference between them beyond mostly the cosmetic. It’s not just that it’s WebKit, it’s that it’s WebKit that’s also behind Apple’s walled garden.
Firefox that doesn’t render with gecko isn’t really Firefox, is it? I mean I get that Mozilla endorses the app, but it’s not the same Firefox as it would be almost anywhere else.

As I mentioned above, it’s quite snappier than safari and even Firefox. It’s clear that they’ve worked on performance.
