It renders... so what is missing for you to use it?
Time to switch to LibreWolf or something else.
Can I use that to sync passwords, history, etc. between phone and PC in some way of form, even if self-hosted?
I've been on librewolf for years, and as long as I'm running the FlatPak version, all Firefox extensions work. Having said that, you do have a few options to sync. One is using your Firefox account (I don't suggest you do because of Mozilla's BS over the past year or so, but you would be sharing way less stuff this way). In my case, the only thing I want synced in browsers is the bookmarks, so I use floccus extension in every browser, floccus app in android, and host them all in a self-hosted linkwarden instance. I hope that helps.
Recently I go fucking annoyed by Mozilla that I rage-contributed (monthly payment) to Servo.
Mozilla is such a shit show.
Do we have a web browser that uses Servo engine yet?
Not even remotely close yet unfortunately.

The first ( without the ) is making me go crazy haha
God I'm happy to not be the only one. I read the thing the times trying to figure out where it was closing it

For me the requirements in a browser are:
- Works without many issues
- Has extensions (or built-in features) that do what NoScript, Ublock Origin, Dark Reader, CanvasBlocker, and Redirector do on LibreWolf
- Relatively secure
- Open source and free from corporate evil
- Not annoying in any major ways
When the required extensions get made for Falkon, I'm probably switching
When they are in late beta or ready for use, I will try Servo-based browsers and Ladybird
currently I use LibreWolf
LibreWolf has been quite good to me. I just allow cookies on my most used websites and it's been perfectly fine to use.
I daily driver QuteBrowser and have for awhile now. I like it. does everything I need it to do and the vim style navigation is awesome.
Sure there are some quirks that can be solved via userscripts and trust me I have a lot written for it but everything that requires an extension in firefox or chrome i have working on Qutebrowser. I don't get adds with youtube in fact dare I saw I have it set up better than what you could get on Firefox or Chrome, I have my password management via bitwarden, it all just works. And the dev, The Compiler, is great and is always on top of issues that come up.
there's yet to be any site i've come across that just doesn't work.
contrast with vivaldi explicitly taking a no ai stand in the browser.
Sigh. At this rate I can see a day where I end up switching to WebKitGTK's MiniBrowser as my main rather than having it as a "secret" backup.
I won't use regular Vanilla FF. I do like Zen tho!
