My question as a total luddite is whether or not it will be possible for Chromium based browsers to maintain a version without this. I use Firefox on all my devices so it's not an issue, but I'm curious about other popular browsers, especially those like DDG or brave that emphasize privacy.

its just chrome, but if j were used I'd be switching to ff. even it it goes to shit, its open source, so it can always be picked up by the community

Was it ever any surprise they got their way? They're basically unopposed.
