I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y’all for your answers. :D

I want to link !@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914

    Gecko was probably based on early 90s code but it wasn’t out until 2000. It’s still older than almost everything else though.

      Actually ff is the old Netscape navigator which was popular in the early to mid 90’s. When Netscape didn’t take off like they hoped it was retooled a little bit and turned into ff

        Don’t you mean “when Microsoft abused their monopoly to crush the competition it was open sourced”?

        Yes. That still doesn’t change how Gecko (which is basically a rewrite of the old Netscape engine) was not released until 2000.
