People should be uninstalling Chrome instead.

Adblocking still works fine on Firefox. Just update your UBO filters.

I literally have un-installed chrome. I had to use it on an office machine today and it felt weird.

The default browser at my work is Firefox lol, only our testing team and a few others use Chrome. It's a pretty welcome change 👍

I find it a little funny when we get Chrome-specific bug reports though

Aside from Firefox, are there any decent non-Chromium-based browsers left?

There are many. They're just not as popular.
