First focusing on AI and now this, already cancelled my donations, do we have a good fork to move to?

Pale Moon is the only alternative I can think of, it's independent of Gecko and FF

Last I heard, which was admittedly a long time ago, Pale Moon was dangerously out of date with respect to security and web standards and not much more than a meme. I feel like I remember a significant change in leadership relatively recently, but has Pale Moon actually become a viable alternative?

Beyond that, WebKit is still a thing. Ladybird is too though it's still quite a ways from primetime.
