I use Chrome for everything. I have 27 plug-ins running right now. But if Manifest 3 turns out to be as bad as predicted, I’ll abandon ship for Firefox without a second thought.

If you use Chrome, aren't you sending all your data to google directly? Can any number of plugins ensure your privacy?

use brave or ungoogled chromium (search for it on github) shall stop that.

Lol no you aren't "sending all your data to google". Come on man, certainly they spy on you but all your data is a bit of a bogey man story.
