afaik it’s not only for google chrome but for chromium in general. so privacy friendly browsers like brave and degoogled chromium are also affected unless they fork the chromium project or something.

In terms of web engine, there are Gecko(Mozilla) and WebKit(Apple) for you to chose from, which isn’t that much choice.

Some Chromium browsers like Brave and Vivaldi already announced they’ll extend it for as long as they can, and when they no longer can’t, they’ll think of something else like improve their own blockers.
