    I would love to get Brave, but the only reason I will not let this thing on my computer, is because of the fact it is apart of the Chromium Project. However, I'm not gonna make this a negative comment because it is actually very fast, and is a decent browser

    Opera is not what it used to be. It's now based on Google's Chromium and its rendering engine. If you want to bypass Manifest v3 (and all its stupid disadvantages, disadvantageous for us users mind you), you can only advise a Gecko or Mozilla Firefox "substructure".
