It also sells your eyeballs by allowing certain adds after they've been paid.

It's basically racketeering.

If you're keen on using chromium with manifest v2 add-ons, Vivaldi and Microsoft edge are both options to keep in mind.

Brave won't be affected by manifest v3 though

That is opt-in.

Edge hasn't been released yet.

Vivaldi UI is a buggy and slow mess (I invite you to try it yourself)

Edge-ium is about to be released. It's very stable. I've been using the preview for months.

I use Vivaldi alongside Chrome for dev, and from that perspective (for the other devs here on HN) they seem like clones of each other. Both running the same JS engine and dev tools.
