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.
I use Mozilla every single day and have done so for about 6 years now. Personally I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything but ads if I don’t a Chromium based browser.
I’ve been using Mozilla products for going on 20 years on my windows PCs, and other than websites arbitrarily deciding they don’t work on non chrome browsers, I’ve rarely had issues.
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.

Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!
In terms of web engine, there are Gecko(Mozilla) and WebKit(Apple) for you to chose from, which isn’t that much choice.

Arent you forgetting someone?
No
Wow, I haven’t used Lynx since the 90s. Admittedly, a text-only browser is an attractive idea.
Apparently it’s still being actively developed! I’m impressed.
firefox exists
You already have to fork the chromium project to make Brave and degoogled chromium
