and what would that be? google with chrome? mozilla and firefox are the only thing standing between a near monopoly of google on the browser market. safari on mac os doesn't count because it is not available on other systems.

You can download browsers on Linux based on the same engine as Safari. https://webkit.org/downloads/

I was stating this when Microsoft ditched the Trident system. I don't use windows but it was the last hold out against Google completely crushing the browser market. What I didnt anticipate was just how poorly Mozilla would take the opportunity and ruin it. Nowadays the last Bastian of freedom seems to be on the Firefox forks some which are very distro specific.
