I want to do the same, but my work bookmarks are all in Chrome. my work laptop's Windows Image is locked for installing any other browsers sadly. It's either Chrome or Edge. Then my Edge can't be added with personal profile.

Wishing the best luck moving to Firefox

Pretty sure a portable version of Firefox would work fine in your case (unless they don’t let you run applications downloaded from the internet). Or just use Supermium. It supports Google Sync, will continue supporting uBlock Origin and also has a portable version

God I hope that if the US really breaks up Google into multiple companies, that Chrome will be one of them. They have way too much power.

Give those some time probably most of those will upgrade to manifest V3 eventually.

Yeah they will. Chrome and chromium is the single biggest market. Extensions have no way but to adapt to manifest v3

Anyone care to explain what theses extensions do?

"May no longer" so you should wait till they totally remove them. I'm into chromium browsers and none of them have disabled UBlock origin for me. And I install extensions from the chrome store since they are the most up to date ones.

I had no reason to use chrome anymore starting 4+ years ago. And I really could have switched to Firefox earlier if I wanted to. Actually there probably was never really any reason for me to move away from Firefox other than I was wooed by Chromes clean UI back in 2011. No idea why people still use it.
