Using Opera only superficially sidesteps the big Google problem, as you still contribute to the Chromium monoculture that reinforces Chrome's dominance and benefits Google.

Yep, sad state of affairs. Sad day when Microsoft succumbed to Chromium monoculture.

However when I develop I always develop for Firefox first, but the Firefox developer tools are starting to age as well.

At least the performance issue of Firefox on Mac is being worked on and should hopefully be resolved soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522

Even though PWA:s are good in theory, will it only increase Google's grip on the web?

Has the web standards become so complex that it is inevitable that we will have a Chromium monoculture?

I want to believe, but I heard that multiple times and still can't even open simplest html websites without hearing the pain of my machine.

It had been blocked by webrender if I remember correctly, now the work on fixing this issue has actually started. Markus Stange is a capable engineer as well so there's hope.
