+# LibreWolf
+Same opinion as with UGC, except that instead of Chromium it's Firefox, and instead of Google it's Mozilla
+
+# Luakit
+This is the browser on which I (used to) do my daily web surfing , which I customized to my needs.
+For example, I modified two of its core modules to make the browser actually more usable, like disabling JavaScript and other plugins by default , removed corporate search engines, and added others, more privacy respecting ones. 
+And other miscellaneous things to it like user-agent spoofing and caret browsing (which allows scrolling using Vim-like keybindings) , and its default homepage to "about:blank"
+If I ever want to visit other sites part of the "modern" web (thankfully it's not much) , I use Falkon , which I'll mention later on this post. Other than that , Luakit seems fine to me , almost never crashed, and I feel comfy using it.
+
+
+# Falkon
+This was my backup web browser which I use for browsing "modern" sites and the Fediverse social media , but also development platforms like Gitea or SourceHut. 
+While I don't use it much and it's barely customized , it works how I want it to work. 
+Unlike luakit I can't use Vim-like keybindings here without an addon (and Falkon kind of lacks addon support) , but that's not much of a problem. 
+It sometimes crashes , but it's due to running out of memory , thus requiring me to close some running programs on my host. Otherwise it's a nice browser.
+
+
+# Epiphany
+I once tried this web browser but given that I don't like touchscreen UI on desktop and this had practically no useful keybindings I don't use it.
+
+
+# Netsurf
+Really nice browser, but I mostly was reluctant to daily drive it for odd reasons. Most HTML5 sites are broken on this browser (it's a feature and that's good) because it's a real web browser for real web standards.
+
+
+# Qutebrowser
+This one was once my main browser but because it's too heavy for my host (both memory usage and disk space) I stopped using it. 
+I would consider using it again but I'm just reluctant. It works fine on my laptop though.
+
+
+# Vimb
+Really good and all but doesn't support disabling JavaScript neither it has a per-domain whitelist[*]. 
+Also it lacks tabs but for that the "tabbed" utility from suckless.org can be attached to the browser.
+
+[*] This was proven false by ~shokara , also the whitelisting on vimb is really tricky to do
+
+# Badwolf
+This is by far , one of the best web browsers out there, almost extremely minimal, but even that bored me enough to not use it. Weird
+
+
+# Lariza
+Building it from sources wasn't entirely difficult at all. 
+Another browser which follows the minimalist fashion, like Badwolf. 
+Though it does not have Vi-like keybindings (even though it's mentioned on badwolf's page) so it requires learning how to use it. 
+Also for tabs it can use "tabbed"
+
+# Ungoogled Chromium
+It's still Chromium under the hood, despite the efforts of its developer to go against Google itself
+
+# wyeb
+Just couldn't get used to this browser, unlike other Vim-like browsers this one kinda sucks. 
+It also supports the use of "tabbed" for browser tabs.
