Re: About browsers (again) [was Re: Firmware for Broadcom BCM4318 Wireless LAN Controller]

Hello,

There are lots of browsers. I tried to classify them by engine. Don't 
hesitate to notify errors or missing. Browsers based on Chromium are 
interesting because they integrate WebXR and can work with virtual reality .

Browsers based on Mozilla Gecko engine :
  - Firefox
- GNU IceCat : https://icecatbrowser.org. A free version of Firefox.
  - Floorp, fork of Firefox ESR : https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp.
  - FireDragon, fork of Floorp : 
https://github.com/dr460nf1r3/firedragon-browser.
  - Ghostery, fork of Firefox : 
https://github.com/ghostery/user-agent-desktop.
  - Helix, fork of PulseBrowser : 
https://github.com/pulse-browser/experiment.
  - LibreWolf, fork of Firefox : https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io.
  - Mypal, fork of Firefox : https://mypal-browser.org. Works well with 
Windows XP.

  - Artic Fox, fork of Pale Moon version 27.9.4 : 
https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox. Works well with Windows XP 
(excepted with https://www.france24.com) and rendering of 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=eoY1Mc70uTo is worse than 
Mypal rendering.
