That’s not what that Firefox thing was about at all.
Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge

I had a feeling this would happen. I have to use Google services for a lot of things at work and Edge works fine with them. Firefox usually does okay, but not always. And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.
Can any Chromium-based browser refuse to turn on V3 or is it too baked-in without forking the entire project?

If you’re talking about the recent news, that’s not what the updated privacy notice says.
Mozilla will be adding opt in LLM functionality to Firefox. It can use third party LLM providers. The privacy has been updated to say “btw, any info you give to this LLM will be processed by the LLM by a third party.” I.e. the LLM provider has the data once you send it to them.

IIRC Vivaldi and Brave promised to prolong it for a year.

Test-driving them both now.

I imagine so, but the technical burden is at risk of growing over time as the upstream chromium may significantly deviate from or remove some of the functionality.

If you’re talking about the most recent news about the Terms of Service, that is a gross misreading of what they said.
