@fedward@distraction.party I main Vivaldi when I use Linux (and it's my "need chrome-based" choice on Mac). I'm not sure there's a good WebKit browser for it. Zen wasn't on my radar last time I spent time on my Linux box, either, so I'll give that a go there at some point, too. I keep it around as a Gecko fallback on my Mac should I ever need one.

@gregatron5@vmst.io my Mac fallback has just been regular Firefox for a while now. I haven’t used Chrome in years and don’t even have a Chromium browser installed. I ran into a weird problem where the Chrome Updater process was always consuming a bunch of CPU even after a fresh reboot, and the problem persisted across a few uninstall/reinstall cycles. I tried Chrome Canary at the time and still had the same problem, so I just deleted it and never looked back. Safari was so much better at memory management by then anyway, so I didn’t miss it.
