@Thot, for US companies privacy is generally an foreignism which they don't know the meaning. You can look in their PP, they all start "Your privacy is very important to us", which in clear text means that your private data is important to them as they make money from it.

We urgently need a third engine (and browser) because we out of options soon, one Ad Corporation controlling chromium, and now we have another Ad Corporation that has total control over Firefox - the last browser that is not based on chromium.
Mozilla, how could you do this to us!?

@Stardust, there ares still WebKit, well....better no, Goana and Qt, but they are also forks of Gecko and Chromium. Better staying with Chromium and making the best of it, no other way arround. Or talking with KDE to get back to the roots, forking their Konqueror browser with KHtml.

Time to switch to Vivaldi Browser, full-time.
I miss the days of Netscape Navigator, and jumped over to Phoenix, which later became Fire Bird, which ultimately became Firefox. It is a sad day, indeed, but at least there is an alternative, Vivaldi.

@NetscapeNavigator welcome!
