It was definitely snarky, but I did try to qualify the snark to be useful-snark, and not just plain snarky.
As for all these browsers, all of them(unless I'm mistaken) are based off of one of the big 3(Chrome, FF, Safari) so you still have to trust the big 3 to run these, for the most part, as they are all single-developer or maybe a very small team, and would be very hard pressed to catch underhanded attempts from any of the big 3 to embed any nastiness.
For the record, of that list NetSurf is an independent browser with its own rendering engine (and is correspondingly less… full‐featured).
