There really isn't one. The closet would be Konqueror with KHTML and one of Mozilla's discarded projects called Servo (which is a beta project now run by the Linux Foundation). The rest are Chrome in a wig and Safari.

There is also this which might be viable in the future, https://ladybird.org/

The lady bird dev is a musk fellating tech bro

EDIT: I can't remember where I learned this, but I swear someone on lemmy had shown some tweets that were showing support for the musk era changes and were in some way endorsing web3 garbage. Take everything anyone says on the internet with a grain of salt.

That sucks but if it's open source it doesn't matter imo

There was a comment thread a month ago about the attempted refusal to use gender neutral language because that's political: "This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics."

It's not the same thing, but it does match the pattern. Still take everything with some salt though.

That much I certainly remember and is easily verifiable, I wish I had a source for the musk support though.

Well fuck. There goes that one.

Andreas Kling? How so?

We'll see how it goes in a few years. I did forget about it so thanks for reminding me about it.

FYI: KHTML became Safari that became WebKit that became Chrome.
