Is the another non chromium browser that can handle more than 5 extensions?

Ff extension management is terrible which i find unusable in an age where I need extensions to prevent sites from removing usability features like select, copy, and paste.

I'm using brave but I don't fully understand how it's related to chromium and if it's a true fork that they are going to be able to maintain independently. I have many many extensions in brave and an extension manager that let's me toggle them right from a drop down. Any suggestions?

This is about gmail, not chromium, but nevertheless: If you’re not willing to adapt your workflow to something other than chromium, maybe you don’t value your privacy as much as you think you do.
Correct I value basic usability (the ability to use many plug-ins in this case) over privacy. This is why I don't use proton, cause I can't actually get anything done with it.
In that case, I'd urge you to tone down your negative criticism on Firefox.

You've already decided that you are not willing to use it over issues you have with it: that choice is fine. Telling others in relevant discussions why you made that choise is, too.

No-one asked you why you chose not to use Firefox in a thread about Gmail. Yet you managed to inject your FUD here nonetheless: Firefox can handle 5+ addons just fine. But now some random passersby might get the impression that Firefox is a burning dumpsterfire based on random negative critiques that aren't even in the right place nor true at all. That helps exactly no-one.
