> DDG browser appears to be FOSS
But that's the Android version, and according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo_Private_Browser
DDG on Android uses Blink which is Chromium, not WebKit:
"the browser engine [used in DDG browser] is Blink on Android and Windows, and WebKit on iOS and macOS"
There seems to be no GNU/Linux version.
If I understand correctly, the only way to use DDG browser and be free is to run it on a free version of Android, but then it's using chromium instead of webkit.
> tell me the dirt on DDG / webkit
On DDG I think it's not proper FOSS, it's some kind of "freeware".
Regarding other webkit-based browsers, the main one of course is Safari which is also not FOSS. The closest one to being and usable while also being FOSS I think is GNOME Web, formerly Epiphany. But that one is just not good enough, I think it lacks some "must have" features.
To summarize, webkit-based browsers are either not FOSS, or too far from being usable.
Should I stay or should I go?

p.s. In case you missed it, LibreWolf has just created their own Fediverse account:
➡️ @librewolf
It's a fork of Firefox with emphasis on privacy, for example it comes bundled with the excellent uBlock Origin.
(Just edited it into the list above too, but not everyone sees the edits 🙂 )

Citatet är @axbom som försöker hjälpa DN:s Kristofer Ahlström hitta rättare sociala medier, och inte falla tillbaka och återaktivera sina gamla han vill bort från.
Vad som är annorlunda med #Mastodon, #Pixelfed och #Fediverse förklaras också bra.
Jag tror också det går styra om allting internet till något betydligt trevligare och användbart. Ännu finns bra möjligheter 🥰

@meraord ja jag borde nog flytta ut på landet jag också, det låter mysigare!
@NataliaArmyOf1 I just thought that may be a more accurate translation in this case. I suspect that the main point of that headline is to say that the man in the picture is effectively owned by Moscow and is doing Moscow's bidding, not necessarily to say that he comes from Moscow.
@meraord imponerande! Jag vill inte vara sämre så jag har också ett meddelande: såg fyra idioter på min väg hem igår.
1 st sverigedemokrat
1 st moderat
1 st kristdemokrat
1 st liberal

My first post on #Mastodon. I feel I need to get away from US-Controlled media.

@DaveMasonDotMe you can use the "top" command to see processes of interest, and the "kill" command to kill some of them if you want to.
@xianc78 good decision

Trump and JD Vance didn’t humiliate Zelensky.
They humiliated America.
A country that once stormed the beaches of Normandy now whines that a wartime leader isn’t “grateful” enough.
Imagine being this fragile.
Imagine thinking this is strength.

Mozilla has deleted the following from ToS
“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”
“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "
