Hello Zenaan,
Thanks for your detailed answer. On a general note, I tried to include
details that I thought are at least a bit relevant (thus exclude details
that I thought are not), in order not to make my post overly long. But
that also requires some expertise I may lack...

Thank you for the replies received. They made clear that I

Firstly, I'm not interested in rolling releases. In my experience,
Firefox 3.6 was the pinnacle in browsers, in the days when Epiphany

since then, as far as I can tell.
