Despite my support for an independent HTML rendering engine, the profusion of "You have to remember to turn all this crap off" features in @firefox.com, coupled with several long-standing bugs, sent me to Vivaldi.
Firefox Mobile is now sending me Marketing notifications.
Decision: confirmed.

DDG's browser is, on Mac, using Apple's WKWebView. I don't know what they're using on other platforms, but they're not an independent HTML rendering engine (and neither is Vivaldi, which is just using Chromium).
But yeah, Firefox has attached too much baggage to their rendering engine for me to care.
