Add www.ecosia.org to that list. Or at least their browser.

Where is Netscape!
And we have safari too!
To be fair, WebKit is just Blinks (Chromium) sibling. I'm not sure if KHTML is proud or not.
Blink has diverged enough from WebKit that they are separate engines now. KHTML has been sadly laid to rest.
It’s a miserable state of affairs that we are effectively down to just 3 browser engines now, Blink, WebKit and Gecko. But with the ever increasing scope and complexity of web standards I don’t see that changing, unless someone throws a lot of extra support at the Servo project.
So can someone confirm if 'they' ever got Chromecast access functional in Firefox yet? Last time I looked into it and tested it out the plugin or fx_bridge or whatever it was called was years ago and it never managed to work, which is the sole reason why I haven't switched to Firefox.

we have you surrounded!! come out with your browser running chrome
Firefox gets north of $300-$500 million from Google.
Meanwhile, our IT department is blocking every browser except for Chrome and Edge. It is infuriating, because out of the list, these two are my least favorite to use (putting it mildly).
So? Brave is way better than today's Firefox. And I say that after being an avid FF user for almost 19 years. I refuse to go back to it or to fuel the shitshow and cash-grab which is Mozilla nowadays.
Oh cool. It's the same 5 memes reposted ad nauseam here too. Redditors gonna feel right at home.

God damn I thought I saw the last of these stupid browser takes on reddit, chromium is open source and we've seen multiple browsers (Brave, Vivaldi, I think librewolf) using its potential to remove themselves from the chromium baseline and build out their own fork with ad blocking services that didn't go down when manifest V3 happened.
There's no "browser monopoly" anymore than there's a "V shaped engine" monopoly in cars. Why don't people use Gecko more? That's like asking why people don't use rotary piston engines in cars, you could, it's just garbage. Gecko isn't the standard because no one wants to build a web browser with it.
