    Because it’s the only browser not based on Google’s Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google’s monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.

      Technically, WebKit is Apple’s rendering engine (Safari).

      Google uses Blink, which is a fork of WebKit, but is its own thing now.

      So, you can still use Safari without directly contributing to Google’s de facto rendering engine monopoly.
