I cannot use a browser that is owned by a company who's financial model is dependent upon browsers being nerfed.

Apple and Google have far too many incentives to wall garden browsers, Apple due to the app store, Google due to advertising.

Independent browsers are the only safe path forward.

Funny, I prefer to use Safari because it is just a damn web browser and isn't trying to let every webslop dev try and re-invent the wheel in slow JITed Javascript and build their own crappy operating system. Whatever their reason, Apple is the enemy of my enemy, and therefore, in this regard, my friend.

Well this preview includes many changes made to WebKit which Kagi, a so called independent browser, depends on. It's good news for you.

You're correct. Which makes it all the more inscrutable that the Firefox team doesn't embrace PWA's as a differentiator.
