And those are just the browsers in one very specific niche that I keep an eye on.
That being said, I do welcome Vivaldi and hope that it provides an alternative for those of us put off by the past years of buzzword-motivated browser bloat in Firefox.
IceCat sounds like a definite FireFox fork, am I right? I've always used Firefox myself but I'm just not liking the direction it's going in. I'm not using a touch screen computer, I don't want a fucking touch screen computer. I can understand simplifying things and I can understand the need for something to look 'pretty' but it should also work nicely with the tools that you have to access it. FireFox has become a magnificent SeaSlug. It'll look pretty in your aquarium but it's not going to work as well as one of those sucker fish thingies.
I think it's time to find a new browser not connected to Mozilla or Google. Rant rant, rant, rant.
After the vicious early days when the world of Web browsers closely resembled the ruthless world of the railroad barons a century earlier, the browser market settled down to something pretty boring. First there was IE and Firefox. A few years later, Apple introduced Safari. Several years after that, Google launched Chrome.
Firefox is a bastard child of Netscape Navigator and there was a time before that.
Saying "First there was IE and Firefox" is leaving out half the story.

If you hate the bloat in FF, I suggest IceCat maintained by the FSF.
