Are chrome "dialects" like brave enough to foster innovation?
I'm eager to see if Servo will provide substantial performance improvement such that there is incentive to switch other than preventing a monopoly.

Edge probably the others less likely.
Only Firefox has a different engine (Gecko), so it qualifies.
Engines are about as relevant to diversity in the browser market as semiconductors are to diversity in the phone market. It's irrelevant for the end user experience, and arguably a waste of resources and time.
Browsers which can't compete on actual features and services that matter to users and instead try to distiniguish themselves through technical implementation details will probably die out, as the marketshare of Firefox shows.
