30% of Firefox users have ≤4 GB of RAM in 2023 - web browsers should be more lightweight and optimize RAM usage
Not so ancient - Otter uses QtWebKit 5.212 from Mar 10, 2020.
-
Browser engine in Otter
AFAIK, Otter Browser uses the latest QtWebkit-ng on Windows. It scores 341 points in HTML5Test. There is also an experimental Qt WebEngine backend.
-
Making a New Browser
The main backend for Otter Browser is QtWebkit Reloaded, last updated in 2020, see the screenshot.

Which browser is the best for my 10 year old PC?
As for Otter Browser, there is a bug in QtWebKit. Try using Otter Browser on Qt WebEngine.
-
Any WebKit browsers for windows 10?
Otter Browser is based on QtWebKit-NG, which is from 2020, so still relevant. That said, you can use the nightly WebKit build from Playwright: https://i.postimg.cc/Fz7FwRQW/Playwright.png
-
Which Embed Browser engine to use?
Lastly, the other webkit based project, QtWebkit. It is also very lightweight and fast, It also provides a cross-platform render and It has access to the system dialogs. The down side is that you will have to make a Qt App to use it. If you don't want to implement it, then you cannot use It

Qutebrowser v2.0.0 released (with better adblocker)
> I hate that it's based on Chromium though
There aren't really many alternatives. The main one is WebKitGTK, but that comes with its own set of issues (mostly performance/compatibility). You can use qutebrowser with QtWebKit as well, but I wouldn't recommend it - it's based on a 2018 WebKit with many known security issues: https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/releases
I had hoped for Servo to fill that gap at some point, but so far that hasn't happened yet: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/27579
Another possibility is for Geckoview to be ported to Desktop platforms some day: https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/ - something the people behind Tridactyl would like to happen: https://tridactyl.xyz/ideas/#port-geckoview-to-x86_64
> and Qutebrowser privacy related settings also seem quite limited compared to Firefox... (and even compared to Chromium.)
Can you be more specific? Pretty much anything that's possible to expose (either via a QtWebEngine API or via Chromium commandline arguments) is exposed. Certain things (like deleting cookies belonging to a tab when it's closed) just aren't possible without implementing them in QtWebEngine first unfortunately.
FWIW there's an overview here: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4045

Multiple distros considering removal of Chromium
and Qt has mostly moved to qtwebengine/blink. qt-webkit is sort-of-not-really maintained by very few volunteers. https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/releases
-
[CENSORSHIP] Mozilla goes all-in on deplatforming
While you can still use it with QtWebKit instead, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as that's still based on a 2018 WebKit with no process isolation or sandboxing.

floccus bookmark sync (version 5000002): Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices
- Tab Sync between Browsers
- Floccus – Sync Bookmarks Privately
-
Can Chrome Sync or Firefox Sync be trusted with sensitive data?
There are solutions external to the browsers that work pretty well and where you have control on your data :
Floccus for bookmarks (https://floccus.org/) : it works also on mobile devices : a great plus ! You need only a webdav server (or a Nextcloud account), I use Dave (https://github.com/micromata/dave)
Vaultwarden for the passwords (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)
A huge advantage of this solution is that you can have synchronization also between different browsers and on mobile devices.
-
Discount for bookmarks app: Bookmarks - Read Later ($8.99 -> $0.99)
I have used things like xsync, raindrop and others over the years and recently started using Floccus (https://floccus.org/) which is free and opensource just does not support Safari. Private bookmarks on my own sync system and can keep any chromium or firefox based browsers bookmarks and tabs synced.
