I use Firefox, but I do run into a lot of problems with sites not working correctly. Makes me want to switch to Brave occasionally.
Keep using Firefox. We're now returning to the Era where websites only worked with Internet Explorer but in this case, it is chrome. We can't let that happen.
In my opinion, this is not as big of a deal as, since WebKit/Blink is open source. Everybody could just use the same engine and just build their version of the browser around it. Firefox doesn’t need to maintain their own engine.
It's not that simple. Google is now a major driving force in the web standard consortium. Forking Blink doesn't stop Google from pushing more and more ridiculous web standard. The only way to stop it is by reducing chromium market share which will also reduce Google influence in the consortium.
