From an email discussion between me and Lucas, we agreed that exploring Arctic Fox as an additional browser in mports is potentially worthwhile.
Introduction
Arctic Fox started as a forked and rebranded Pale Moon 27.9.4 and retains its classic interface. Many fixes and enhancements have been imported from Firefox and TenFourFox.
Arctic Fox aims to be a desktop oriented browser with phone support removed, or no longer updated in the tree.
Repo: https://github.com/wicknix/Arctic-Fox
Rationale
Not speaking for Lucas or anyone else in Midnight, as I'm essentially a "rookie" here if that. Rust is a constantly moving target for primary ports like Firefox. Webkit has ports.
Pale Moon, the upstream of Arctic Fox, is known to be aggressive, hostile towards the BSDs and incredibly eccentric when they aren't. To avoid drama, it's best to go straight to Arctic Fox. There exists another option, but the name is incredibly explicit "Male P*on" and while it's obvious it's intended as a joke, it's not appropriate IMHO for mports as it is.
