What's the alternative if you want full ad-blocking in a Chromium browser? I use Firefox normally and wouldn't trust Brave, but there are some sites FF doesn't work with, so it's understandable why some people wouldn't use it.
What doesn't work with Firefox?

"This will ensure certain types of add-ons, like ad-blockers, continue to work best in Firefox" clearly means that MV3 makes ad blocking worse, not entirely disabled. How can you get "no more ad blocking" out of that ?
Again, no. MV3 (the specification) does not do anything to ad blocking. Chrome's implementation of MV3 does. For precision, I should have said "significantly worse ad blocking", not exaggerated as "no more ad blocking".

This is all sophistry. The spec is irrelevant, what matters is only the implementation and the fact that Chrome has a crushing dominance.

How does Chrome’s implementation matter in an article about Firefox?
For anyone looking for Android alternative: Cromite - Chromium, MV2 extensions, good new tab page with 4x4 shortcuts (2x4 pinnable) with direct access to bookmarks https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases Ultimatum - Chromium, MV2 extensions, not so good new tab page similar to original Chrome with only like 4 shortcuts without swiping, limitec customization, no password manager AFAIR https://github.com/gonzazoid/Ult…
I migrated from Firefox to Brave years ago, and it's been incredible. It's easy to turn off the crypto stuff and turn on more advanced privacy protection. Then it's just a fast browser with awesome adblocking. My favorite recent feature has been Brave Scriptlets, which are just little javascript functions you can run on specific sites. I've replaced most of the add ons I used with small scripts. Pretty nice. I would…
Even better now that they have a paid offering with all that crap stripped out (Brave Origin) which is free on Linux.

People build on chromium for the same reason they build on Linux. I’d personally prefer if they built on illumos or bsd but at a certain point people would rather spend their innovation budget higher up the stack and benefit from the platform that has the most open source engineers working on it.
Except it turns out that it's a good thing that the alternative implementations exist. Standards are meaningless if there's only one implementer.

Great list. Things have been painful on Android since Kiwi Browser died. Which of those are you using?
