No browser will ever tick ALL your boxes.

Why not? Is it that hard to NOT include bloatware in your browser and respect XDG Base Directory? As for content blocking, the code is already there because extensions make use of it, just integrate it into the browser UI and use uBlock Origin’s block lists.

Web browsers handle the most sensitive information about a user, so I would never trust a proprietary browser.

And I’d have to do that manually for every computer on which I install the browser. I can’t just tell someone to install a browser and use it as is, there are always several additional steps required after install to have a decent experience. This is especially a problem for people who are not tech savvy.

Oh no, the sun is hot! It is normal to have variations in temperature from year to year.

Why would a website named “itsfoss” make a post about a proprietary browser?

I like Iosevka for programming and terminal.

Is this the new Disney original?

I wonder why they chose this weird nonstandard config format instead of something like TOML

Yes, but frequently used dependencies can be extracted into runtimes which can be shared by many applications.
