      GNOME Web uses Webkit, that’s Apples browser engine

        More accurately, It uses WebkitGTK, which is a fork of Webkit. Blink, the engine Chromium and Chromium based browsers use, is also a fork of Webkit.

          Is it a hard fork? I thought it was just a soft fork

      there’s a whole world of alternative, small, or minimalist non-Chromium non-Firefox browsers out there I would love to try out – but in today’s world, if it doesn’t support at least the full un-crippled version of uBlock Origin, it’s a complete non-starter

      (considering general trends, I’m just gonna have to sit down and setup PiHole aren’t I?)

        With Lynx, there’s even no need for plugins!

        In all honesty, you should try it. Configure it adequately, and really trying it.

        If people could respect the web standards and all have a text based version (aka working on Lynx), the web would be a better place for everyone - especially the impaired ones (blinds for example).

        I would trash all the JavaScript in the world to have a functional text based web any day.

        I find the ad blocking in Gnome Web to be sufficient. The biggest thing that is holding it back in my opinion is a lack of features like extentions and FIDO support and moderate performance.
