I bet there will be a Chromium for without that + Brave is already working on it. Power of open source I guess?

Every feature removed by Google will have to be maintained by the open source community instead. That's going to be a workload that I'm not sure who is going to pick up. After all Chromium right now is maintained by Google. There's some forks like degoogled chromium but they are mainly focused on removing features, not rebuilding ones that have been deprecated.

Brave is an option but I don't really like where they're heading with their crypto tokens.

Oh, no, Microsoft, Brave, and all the other companies that repackage Chrome will have to actually contribute to the base (or a fork). /s

The crypto aspect is opt-in

I know but it's a core integrated part of the product.

If you don't care about that, firefox with uBO is really much better IMO.

Only for now, they will bait and switch soon enough. We have seen this happen too many times.
