Agree.
I only keep a Chromium based browser around because of Mozilla's asinine decision not to support Web Bluetooth and Web USB that are needed to interact with devices, microcontrollers, etc.

They recently added web serial so here's hoping they might also do BT and USB.

I'll be right there with you. Even with the stupid addition of widgets which immediately get disabled and never used.
All that I care about is that I do not see a single ad in or on anything while I browse. It's a fight but firefox makes it doable.
Which makes it trivial to switch. There's really no justification for sticking with Chrome. Switching to Firefox takes about a minute, you can import all your saved logins and bookmarks, and then maybe spend a whole whopping 30 seconds adding Ublock Origin. Complaints about Chrome amount to "I am too inconceivably lazy to spend 90s switching to a browser that doesn't hate me".
