Right? I came here to look for potential remedies when this goes through. Forking browsers sounds like a good solution. Or am I missing something?

Outside of the EU, browser vendors will continue to ship browsers without eIDAS CAs, so just VPN into a non-EU country to download your browsers.

But you'll probably have to keep an EU version on hand in order to access EU gov sites, EU banks, and likely EU businesses if/when the EU government decides to force businesses to use eIDAS certs for their sites.
