Funny part is, all these "modern"
browsers use the same engine - including M$ Edge.
Not quite. There are two major engine families in use:
Blink (used by Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi)
which forked from Webkit (still used by Safari, Midori, and other minor browsers)
which forked from KHTML (TDE Konqueror)
Gecko (used by Firefox, Seamonkey, Waterfox, and various rebrandings)
has a fork Goanna (used by Pale Moon).
There was a lot more diversity a few years ago, though, when Opera and
Edge (and IE) still had their own engines. Mozilla was developing a new
engine for a while, but I don't know its status.
So if you want to fight the Blink-Webkit monoculture, you're stuck using
something from the Firefox family . . . or elinks.
