@kokorins@fosstodon.org Sure, the Sailfish Browser uses Gecko as its web engine because too many browsers use Chromium. It's a descendent of the Maemo browser, back from when Gecko had Qt support built-in. That has since been removed upstream, so Sailfish OS has been maintaining that and embedlite, which is quite a lot of work so over the years it's fallen behind a bit. @flypig@mastodon.social did the last bump to ESR91, and this one means we're sort-of on a still supported Gecko, which hasn't happened for a few years.
