Mozilla isn't in danger anymore, as Google isn't forced to stop making search engine deals, only exclusive contracts are banned:

(I'm not surprised, I knew that this Google breakup and search engine deal ban thing won't happen. Authorities still need Google as one of their spying eyes. But the good thing is that Firefox-based browsers will stay alive.)

Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi Tip:
Choose an animation for loading tabs.

The browser already shows when tabs are reloading, but you can customize HOW it displays this info. Could be especially useful when you have multiple tabs refreshing in the background!

Choose your preferred style in Settings > Tabs > Tab Display:

✓ Progress Bar
✓ Favicon Progress
✓ Favicon Spinner
✓ None
