Konqueror works quite well already. Very useful for if you want to mirror a website for offline viewing.
You can get Tor Browser to work by using the unofficial Tor Browser Ports packages available on SourceForge. Keep in mind this isn't an official release by the Tor team, so treat it with caution. It is working very well for me though outside of the same slight UI scaling issues left in FireFox.
Sorry that it took so long and thanks for the contribution! I will check them out and add them to the list when I find time

Why did you add so much white space in your post?
Which Firefox did you use? On Mobian, Firefox ESR (78) is installed by default. Have you tried to enable hardware acceleration? I wonder if it makes a difference in performance.
I agree that GNOME Web (Epiphany) is quite pathetic, which is a pity because it allows to create web apps very quickly.
The white space seems to be a bug when using the not at all mobile optimized forum on a Pinephone. I used the normal Firefox on a Arch SD card whichg is where I do most of my testing and used it on PostmarketOS which till yesaterday was my daily driver but I haven't tried manually enabling any hw acceleration yet. About the Webapps I recently started testing cog for them which is some kind of frame for Webkit with no UI. It sadly doesn't support any kind of ritght click many and copy paste via keybindings seems broken to but I will have to play around with that a bit more.

You can try the cog browser but it has no UI elements, therefore, I suggest you to use it through my control app: https://gitlab.gnome.org/kailueke/cogwebrun#cogwebrun
Of course it would be nicer to have the control elements in the same window but I didn't investigate how to patch cog.
I discovered cog myself a while ago but the missing right click menu and as far as I can tell broken copy paste annoyed me. That app sounds awesome I will have to try it out soon thanks!

I have used w3m successfully. Plain text only, but touchscreen works for selecting images. w3m-img SHOULD display images, but I can't get it to do so in KingsCross terminal.
Installing Qutebrowser and Konqueror after reading this thread, thanks everyone!
In my experience Epiphany works without JS but any kind of JS slows it down to a almost unusable state and even without JS none ESR Firefox seems faster to me personally. I wasn't aware of w3m at all yet but i will check it out for sure and probably add it to the list thanks! Also since you use KingsCeoss I assume you are on Mobian and probably use Firefox ESR so maybe try the normal one it's worth it
