I keep seeing sentences like "MV3 is approaching", "when MV3 drops in x months", but the reality is that MV3 is already here and affecting extensions!

New extensions that use MV2 have been prevented from being added to the store since last January [1] and this has already affected some extensions which, as a result, have to be installed manually [2][3]

The time to switch to Firefox is right now.

The time to switch was yesterday, really. Google controls Chromium (don't kid yourself that it doesn't) and Google's business is ads.

They are fundamentally misaligned with your interests on the net.
