At least Safari has better privacy concern than Chrome. Let's see if Waterfox can substitute Firefox in the long run. I believe MS Edge will happily replace Chrome.

How can Waterfox substitute for Firefox when 99% of the work that goes into Waterfox is actually done by Firefox developers?

Almost the same argument applies to Edge and Chrome.

> Safari

This is a better answer than Waterfox or Edge. Like you said, at least Apple cares about privacy enough to defend it in court.

Waterfox is dependent on Mozilla, which admitted to selling its users’ data.

Edge is an answer just for Windows, and the primary benefit to MS is getting people to use Bing, to sell ads.
