Sorry, I missed the mobile part of your statement

For mobile I would recommend duckduckgo private browser.

You're wrong, but chromium uses a fork of webkit

welp, thats that. oh well. i can be wrong - all good.

it doesnt matter really because i cant develop a browser and i have to use what exists - i choose duckduckchrome.

It does matter, because Firefox exists, and you're free to choose that one too. If you know about the underlying tech your decision is more informed.

im not going to pretend im smart enough to understand the backend difference between safari/chrome/firefox - firefox mobile hasnt been a great experience for me, but i dont use the browser on my phone all that much. at home, its vivalidi because it works well. im not knocking firefox, its been my go to browser for over a decade - but its been seemingly backed by google this whole time? i dont know.

Google paying Mozilla for search placement is the same as Google paying Samsung and Apple for search priority on their phones.

It doesn't mean that Google is backing Mozilla, Apple, and Samsung.

Mozilla has to take a much smaller cut compared to Apple because of their size, nothing else.

If you're on iPhone there is no difference in the tech under the hood, because apple only allows webkit. Anything besides Safari is essentially Safari with a skin. The difference in tech is rarely the issue though. It's the monopolistic practices of Google and apple that should concern us

100% agree and what I was trying to get to - it's the tech monopolies that are the issue here.

And I'm on pixel6a - so it's Google anyway.
