Chromium Vs. Gecko (f-droid.org)

I know most of the answers here, prefer Gecko over Chromium because Google is a monopoly, but honestly I would like to make the switch, the bad thing is that I still find the Firefox interface on Android old, I know it seems a bit silly to risk a little privacy for a comfortable and visually pleasing interface, but recently I saw that Chromium forks are even more secure than those using Gecko, that's why I still use Cromite

I take this opportunity to say that possibly the solution to this is WebLibre, a browser based on Gecko which is exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunately still in alpha but from what I've seen it's on the right track

I've been using fennec and it's mostly ok.

The same could be said of Ironfox or even Waterfox...

I'm going by what's on f-droid.
