Three of those browsers are just Chromium reskins, how are they supporting Chrome but not them?

“Support” means “actively testing and fixing bugs”

This news doesn’t mean that it just will stop working in Firefox, it’s just that they don’t test and they don’t care.

i have seen websites that actively block you from using them unless you’re on a “supported” browser. it’s kinda nuts

Example: Twitch still doesn't let me login from Firefox if I'm on Alpine Linux.

It only happens when I try from Alpine Linux, so they might be testing for some musl-specific quirk and denying access just for not being the Firefox from a different distro.

how old is your firefox? i am almost positive ive used twitch on alpine but it was a while ago

Brave is unsupported by a lot of websites, but almost always works (at least if you turn off shields).

"Unsupported" = "We don't test or develop with this browser in mind", not "This browser doesn't work." If that browser effectively mimics one that is supported, it usually works fine.

This is a customer facing message. People understand brands, they don't understand which browser uses which engine.
