There’s are 2 main browsers, Firefox and Chromium. chromium has a monopoly due to Google, edge, brave, etc. This monopoly allows Google as they dictate what happens to the chromium project, some implementations for features were never incorporated as it didn’t suit Google like JPEG-XL. Even tho its open source its main contributors are from Google. Google dictated the change to manifest v2 to ruin adblockers as it impacts their revenue. This decision impacted all other chromium forks. I think all of them (maybe except brave cause they may have the engineering bandwidth) now lack maifest v2 support. All because a corporate entity decided it was better if users didn’t have adblocking capabilities. They have even made changes to their implementations of various standards (HTML etc) and since most webdevs only test on Chromium, you end up with a subpar experience if you’re not using Google or Chromiums implementation of that standard. So my question as I stated earlier. What’s the alternative to Firefox since even the alternatives are dependent on the work done by Firefox for their fork. And going to chromium is just allowing your core browsing experience (like adblocking) to be dictated by google.
