there is Brave and Vivaldi - both privacy focused browsers but use Chromium and therefore will have Manifest v2 end this year.
The problem I have going forward is the removal of Manifest v2 that I use for a number of extensions that won't be integrated into any web browser, whether Vivaldi, Brave or any other browser.
As a longtime, satisfied Brave-using Luddite, could someone explain what these Manifest v2 references mean?
But the internet is actually unusable without adblock...
At work I will literally run sites through Textise in order to read their content because trying to browse the internet without an adblock is an actively detrimental experience.
It also disables functions required by privacy related extensions which allow you to bypass paywalls, get into walled gardens, protect your anonymity and provide a usable viewing experience beyond blocking ads and scripts.
Everyone focused on ad-blocking and tracking but forgot the rest.

Google doesn't like your ability to limit what you see (e.g. advertisements) so that's going away.
