What are the best lightweight open source browser engines? Not specific browsers, but the engines themselves, such as Webkit, blink, Qtwebengine, and others

If some of you can go in deph about:

Memory usage and speed difference between the different browser engines.

    You are right. I guess I was interested in web engines with as much or close to as much functionality as web kit or gecko but maybe some that might be lighter on resource usage as i’m using it.

    I heard of one browser engine made in a colab with Samsung and Mozilla called Servo made with rust and that it was meant to be lower resourced then todays browsers engines.

    I just installed Epiphany browser earlier today running off of Webkit, it doesn’t have as many built in features as Falcon but for Fediverse sites it works with little issue. But sites with more adverts and javascipt things very well might slow to a crawl quickly on that.
