I have been looking for a web browser that is not based on Chrome or Firefox's engine, does anyone have any suggestions? The only ones I can think of is Opera 12 and Qupzilla, but Qupzilla appears to have errors many times with browsing the web, so I don't think it's a option now.
Maxthon, which is controversial recently. It uses two engines, Webkit and Trident. I'm not sure if you'll consider Pale Moon too. It's based now on Goanna engine, a fork of Gecko engine, in which Firefox is based.
I'm just trying Maxthon 5 Beta now, but as soon as I opened it up, it asks me for my phone number. I could choose to give them my email address if I so desire. It won't let me proceed without one.
Opera is based on Chromium as well and Firefox will be soon enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers

As far as I know Apple discontinued the Windows version of Safari on 14 June 2013. The last supported version is 5.1.7
Just a handful of alternative browsers with different engines under the hood. http://dooble.sourceforge.net/ http://torchbrowser.com/ http://coowon.com/ http://www.netgate.sk/blackhawk/ https://www.epicbrowser.com/ http://www.wyzo.com/ http://usa.maxthon.com/mxnitro/ https://vivaldi.com/ http://www.lunascape.tv/ https://www.waterfoxproject.org/
@pegas Waterfox is basically based on Firefox. It's in fact almost a clone. Vivaldi is also based on Chromium, in which Google Chrome is based. I'm not sure as for the others you mentioned.
Yes I know. Hence I wrote " ... with different engines under the hood". I know that it partly deviates from the OP but frankly searching for a decent fully supported browser with extensions, widgets, cross platform support etc. that is not based on Chromium or Firefox is a challange. I can think of only IE or Edge but I believe that the OP has reasons why to not use the mainstream browsers.
I'm using Edge in the Anniversary Update. I'm using the Adblock extension. So far I'm really liking it, it's super fast really responsive. I may stick with Edge.
the only different engines are QT and webkit - at least it only remains QT because the further dev of webkit is chrome engine again -> webkit -> - > blink and webkit -> webkit2. and as noted QT contains webkit also. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit so hardly to say that current gecko and webkit (and forks) are the only real different engined (presto is death and servo/rust not ready) and ofc trident from IE and Edge with EdgeHTML
webkit2 is created from webkit by apple QT used webkit https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_WebKit qt changes to chromium https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6 google - why blink and not webkit http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-real-reason-why-google-forked-webkit/ at least just another UI for 2 and a half browser engine
Off By One is dead. Long live Off By One!! http://offbyone.com/offbyone/ Well, the OP did ask "for a web browser that is not based on Chrome or Firefox's engine."
I also believe the so called leaders of the pack owe a debt of gratitude to the konqueror browser. https://konqueror.org/features/browser.php
