It seems as if they will track it ( https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/ ), with an exception for a selected few extensions (AdGuard AdBlocker, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix).
The few exceptions being the ones we want. So.. a good outcome.
Why are people on HN still using Chrome? (or Edge, or Opera…)
1. Firefox's ctrl-f search doesn't highlight all instances of a found item on the right hand side. It sounds petty, but its a gigantic timesaver for looking through research documents
2. Firefox's tab crash recovery isn't as solid. I use chrome with fully persistent tabs, and its a gigantic pain if I can't re-open them
If I could find a way to fix these I'd swap in a heartbeat

I'm a Firefox user for about 20yrs (since Firefox 3); but too often I have to use Chrome, as so many sites only work properly on it; Firefox is really buggy or laggy on those websites; For a time, all those AI chat web pages were just very slow on Firefox even with very little context, whereas Chrome only gets laggy when there is a lot of context.
Just remember that Google is essentially an advertising company and that they were always going to squeeze this opening closed as soon as they could get away with it. I do fear for a future were even Firefox ends up caving in. Ladybird browser might be our only hope until something legal comes along to block functionality.
It would be a shame to lose the Mozilla foundation/Firefox but it wouldn’t be the end of the browser.
Look, we're having a good time on Firefox since November 9, 2004. Come join us!

I'm betting there are a lot of people here using Chrome as their "daily driver".
To people who like Chrome, or some of its features (I love their bookmarks), I say: try Helium. Or Iridium. Or even Brave.
uBlock Origin lite exists. And in couple years usage I see no difference from non lite version.
