  • I’m not saying what’s “the correct play” or not, I’m refuting the claim all Chromium-based browsers are immediately affected, because I know of at least one that will keep V2 support.

    But I will keep using Vivaldi. It will take me the same time to migrate to Firefox regardless if I do it today or a year from now when Vivaldi drops V2 support. I have nothing to gain by migrating sooner, but potentially much to gain by waiting.

    • Vivaldi might decide to keep support indefinitely,
    • Vivaldi might decide to update the built-in ad blocker to use UBlock Origin tech,
    • Google might backtrack the decision (hah!),
    • a whole different browser I want to try might come out in the meantime and I’d have to migrate twice,
    • Firefox might die after losing Google funding due to the monopoly ruling.
    • I will build a new PC in a year and it will be a good time for a software refresh,
    • Or, the most likely, none of this will happen, and I will migrate to Firefox then, if that’s the best move at the time.
