Creating your own browser (?)
I recommend to try making your own web browser, as long as it brings something new and innovative, not yet another Chromium/Electron clone. For example, I am working on Split Browser which is very lightweight, being made in Qt and including tiling panes and three web engines (WebKit, Ultralight and Edge WebView2). The development is very slow since I don't have much free time, but I am learning a lot of things by implementing them.

I started a cross-platform browser based on Qt, WebKit (Playwright build) and Ultralight - Split Browser. This is how it looks like: screenshot. Maybe you'd like to contribute?

What Beta-Browsers are you all looking forward to have an official release?
And I'm looking forward to releasing a first stable version of my Split Browser next year, cross-platform and based on three web engines: native, WebKit Nightly and Ultralight.

Will Epiphany ever improve?
Epiphany is not the only alternative web browser - there are: Konqueror based on KHTML, Otter Browser based on WebKit and my Split Browser (alpha) based on WebKit/Ultralight.

Midori Browser completely based on Gecko
Browsers engine diversity is a good thing, but I think WebKit would be a better choice than Gecko - it is more lightweight (see Otter Browser vs Firefox) and there is lack of a modern WebKit browser on Windows (apart from my Split Browser, still in infancy). Good luck!

Browser Grid Layout Availability
This is exactly what my Split Browser does (still work in progress, see screenshot).

Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023
I'm using Brave with rewards, vpn, wallet disabled and around 20 flags modified. It works much faster, better extension support for me with fewer bugs, less memory usage when fewer tabs are opened. I chose brave because it can sync.
I'm impressed with Firefox and tried a fork called floorp. It has some useful additions and find it better than regular Firefox while still supporting sync and was using ungoogled chromium before.
https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases
Unfortunately some websites still work better with chromium browsers in my experience. This is anecdotal but I also feel some negative fingerprinting from Google owned websites on Firefox, more memory leaks as well. It's only a matter of time before I change to Firefox (forced manifest V3) but I will stick with brave for now.

Extremely high memory usage on Floorp
Your machine seems to have very low RAM. Nowadays, at least 16GB RAM is recommended. Alternatively, try out Floorp Lightning: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases/tag/v11.5.1-lightning

Is it foolishness to expect native dark-mode support in Android Firefox?
Firefox does have native Dark Mode, it's the fastest Dark Mode ever exists, in fact it doesn't even reduce performance like Dark Reader and Chrome's Force Dark Mode, but it needs some cares to be more usable, check: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/discussions/487
-
which browser is secure and safe while also being fast?
There is no Android version for Floorp yet, atleast officially that I know of.
