Unfortunately OP is right.

Here's some alternatives that use the same base as Mozilla, and maybe they might pick up the shards soon: Waterfox, LibreWolf, Mullvad Browser

Considering Manifest V3 in Chromium and how the browser kit is forcing quite a few things on us there's also a solid chance people will independently rework the chromium base into a new web browser toolkit soon, but we'll have to see. Either way, next few years will undoubtedly bring a lot of change to the browser landscape.

librewolf for when the site NEEDS javascript to run and icecat for everything else, trying out mull browser

(yt-dlp for youtube lol)

It might be time to sync everything over to Mull Browser. I've been dabbling using it but just haven't committed to switching over completely.

I'm personally using Vivaldi until the adpocalypse next year

Wait, did I miss something? I was under the impression that Vivaldi wouldn't be affected by the Manifest v3 change since their adblocker is independently developed... is that not the case?

AFAIK something is expiring next year that will bring it in line with the other chromium browsers.

A browser tied to a VPN provider would probably harm adoption in the wider scheme of things. That would be a next-to-impossible sell for business IT for one thing, but also the optics generally aren't great at all, especially if said VPN provider finds itself in hot water related to the primary usecase for commercial VPNs (illegal activity)
