@Saijin_Naib /e/ could go with Firefox (or a fork thereof) as default browser, but changing the system webview to gecko is a different thing - https://github.com/mozilla/geckoview/issues/167#issuecomment-902022285

the GeckoView API is not compatible with the WebView API in a very meaningful way unfortunately

Something like WEI was always a possibility with Chrome market domination. In mobile, there is only chromium-blink and safari-webkit derived browsers, no Firefox foothold at all. 6% in desktop, some countries more so than others. b2g was right place right time, but wrong devices.

Agreed. I had the Open, Open C, and the Flame, which was excellent but too late.
