I have been using the same web browser, in terms of codebase, ideology and heritage, for over a quarter century now.

NCSA Mosaic -> Netscape 2, 3, 4/4.78, 6 -> Firebird -> Firefox -> Waterfox.

I have run other web browsers such as Opera and Vivaldi, but my main browser has always been and will always be a Mozilla product.

I think that would be someone who secretly loves pedants, which isn't quite the same thing as secretly loving pedantry. Am I doing this right?

I don't know. I got downvoted, so apparently I'm doing it right!

Actually, I like your sense of humour.
