What browser should I use then? I quit chrome in a futile attempt to be tracked less. They killed support for my adblocker.

Would any of these soft forks survive without Mozilla working on Firefox?
Depends, will I win the jackpot?

The forks do not currently have the manpower to take up the full maintenance of a browser but that does not mean it's impossible that they'll be able to rally enough developers in case Mozilla implodes. A lot of people want a truly free browser to exist. Currently Firefox (barely) manages to fulfill that role and keeps many of those people from spending their time/money on alternatives.

No
Brave. It's a Chromium fork with a built-in ad blocker that's equivalent to uBlock Origin. It works great on Android too.
It is sad that the choice is either an AI browser or a Blockchain browser
fwiw I've been running brave for the past 5 years and it seems fine, they put a bunch of weird shit in it you need to turn off, but otherwise it...browses the internet well?
