Is GNOME Web that good? I'm actually asking because I have yet to use it.

The experience varies depending what you are browsing, but for me, it is plenty good. I can use my misskey account, github/gitlab account, can watch YouTube and few other streaming services as well (although how well or if they run at all depends on what streamingservice you use). Webkit GTK has few issues with touch screen devices, like backspace key of on-screen keyboard not working properly or stylus not working properly etc. Also, the PDF view feels a bit janky.

Got it. I'll take that into consideration once I try it out. Especially since I view PDF files on my browser a lot.
