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.

Will Epiphany ever improve?

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).
