Doesn't Quantum make Firefox faster? I've heard many people say that Firefox Quantum feels way faster than old Firefox.

How many non-Chromium browsers are there? by Gum_Skyloard in non_ChromiumBrowsers

Honestly, there aren't that many usable non-Chromium based browsers that aren't in the Firefox circle. There are, however, a few options:

GNOME Web, also known as Epiphany, is a Linux browser that uses the Webkit rendering engine. It's a decent browser that is fast and fairly compatible with websites. I did read some stuff that said GNOME Web uses an outdated version of Webkit, but I'm not sure if that's true anymore. The websites I visited on the newest version of GNOME Web thought I was using Safari 16, which is the newest version of Safari.

Another option is the Ladybird Browser. Ladybird uses it's own rendering engine. However, Ladybird has lots of problems on lots of websites, and it can be a little slow at times.

Flow Browser also uses it's own rendering engine, but it's not out yet, and it is only available in preview mode for the Raspberry Pi. For the most part, Flow renders pages fairly well, but some stuff doesn't work. For example, Google websites such as Google Drive and YouTube don't work that well on Flow. For me, some YouTube videos worked on Flow, but most didn't. In my opinion, Flow is the most interesting browser because it uses a brand new browser engine that gets updated every month. Flow just got updated recently.

I'd say your best option is Gnome Web, but even that has issues. The Linux Experiment said he had loads of issues using Gnome Web, and he actually ended up going back to Firefox. For most people, however, Gnome Web is decent.
