ddg,brave and opera are chromium based.

And Tor Browser is Firefox based, so this is still a two player game. Unless you like navigating a GDPR banner on Lynx.

Duckduckgo is a firefox addon for desktop. On iOS it utilizes a fork of Safari.

The others I’m not sure about, but a quick search shows me that I gotta delete Brave. Damn. Google is fucking insidious

Why would you mention an add-on here? Anyway, there's a ddg browser that's available for both android and windows, and is chromium based.

I use it on my phone, and on the phone ddg is it’s own separate browser.

It is not. It uses the Safari webkit.

I guess you're talking about iOS, so yeah they had no choice, everything is Safari based there (for now). But on android, as I mentioned at my comment above, it's chromium based.
