Out of curiosity what sort of extensions are you using that are going to make their loss a deal breaker? I've only ever bothered with adblock extensions so I've been having a largely default browser experience for years now and had zero complaints. What have I been missing out on?
Checkout yt-dlp, which is the best fork of youtubedownloader. I use this tool to rip video from basically every site. It is command line, might take you a bit to set the defaults (by editing a config file) to what you want, but once it is set up you just open a command window, type "yt-dlp " and then paste in the URL you want to grab the video from.
You can pass it credentials or browser cookies to access things behind logins or captchas and such, like violent content on youtube or twitter.
The tool has a built in updater, so when youtube adjusts to block it you can type "yt-dlp -U" and it will self update to current. I've never seen them take more than two days to get around youtube's latest attempts to stop them.
Google's on the war path with uBlockOrigin due to their advertising revenue. There's going to be a uBlock Lite version to mitigate the Chromium overhaul, but outlook is somewhat pessimistic to say the least.
Unfortunately stuff does still get through pihole with mostly default ish settings. Like Amazon has a lot of sponsored stuff that is Amazon content so pihole doesn't block it, but its sponsored so ublock origin does.
Both are good, but I prefer Vivalid for it's customizability.
didn't brave and vivaldi said they're going to try to keep manifest v2 for as long as possible?
Some forks are going to maintain the Manifestv2 code themselves, Brave committed to that.

i use a video download thing a lot, that would be annoying to lose for me
But still worth staying with brave imo

I should turn off all of my adblock extensions just to see what the web looks like behind my Pi-hole DNS.
I'm hoping that losing all of them doesn't change much when it happens.
