      Potentially?

      Maybe?

      I would not call myself an expert here, I don’t… dev webbrowsers, more like I’m a privacy minded power user.

      I’m literally just spitballing, I can guarantee nothing.

      Maybe if I did a full crash course over like a month or two, I could have what I would call a ‘semi-informed’ opinion.
