00:48 nope, legitimacy lost.
And as with every other of these browser lists some flavor of the month new firefox-based one wins. One that might or might not still exist in that form in another year (here it’s one that only exists as firefox release-based for a year - before that is was a fork from some old firefox version or even based on chrome at some point). 🥱
ungoogled chromium and floorp were the top tier, only one of them is ff based, neither one of them is new, both are weird choices for the top.
It ain’t really his top.
He said in the video that he uses Floorp and Chromium so he can’t put them in another tier.
What he thinks is best is in the tier under.
