First of all, do you even know what your default browser is even based on; Gecko, Webkit, or Blink?
Gecko
The “OG”; Gecko released in 1993 and it powered “Mosaic Netscape”; aka Netscape Navigator; if you’re young, you might not of heard of that browser—but I bet you may of heard of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which is now Transport Layer Security (TLS) and incase you’re still lost, its the protocol responsible for web security, aka the green lock next to the search bar—developed by the company that initially used Gecko.
