afaik it’s not only for google chrome but for chromium in general. so privacy friendly browsers like brave and degoogled chromium are also affected unless they fork the chromium project or something.
Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!
In terms of web engine, there are Gecko(Mozilla) and WebKit(Apple) for you to chose from, which isn't that much choice.
I use Mozilla every single day and have done so for about 6 years now. Personally I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything but ads if I don't a Chromium based browser.
I’ve been using Mozilla products for going on 20 years on my windows PCs, and other than websites arbitrarily deciding they don’t work on non chrome browsers, I’ve rarely had issues.
