Which open-source web browser do you use on mobile?

How open source? Afaik only Edge is fully closed - the others all have an open source engine.

I didn't know that. Can you mention a few that come to your mind?

Gecko (Firefox) WebKit(safari) and Blink (chrome) are all open source and essentially have the lions share of web usage between them (both engines and browsers). I’m not even aware of any other remaining rendering engines still active besides whatever replaced Trident (msie) when it became Edge.

I'm looking for something lightweight, yet capable of displaying the majority of websites correctly. Any recommendations?

Do benchmarks for yourself. I've done this and on my pixel 2.
