Stop using / enabling Chrome and its derivatives.
Any use of that codebase - Brave, etc. - empowers Google. They're the ones pushing it forward, and developer mindshare empowers the player holding the reins.

I find really useful extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org ... but they often require permission to look at all of my browsing data, and I haven't found a way to view the canonical source that will be installed.
I'm sure it's available somewhere on the file system, but is there an easier way?

My take from watching some open source extensions is you are relatively safe from properly nasty things with a popular extension as they receive a higher "weighting" in the review process. Releases tend to get held up when something strange is added. Mozilla also document their process and tools (they have a web UI for it all):

I recall multiple-browser compatibility support was a challenge quite a few years ago when I worked as a manager for a smallish dev-shop, the problem stopped when IE moved their code to Chromium.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
While it's indeed great for web developers in the short run. The problem is giving a single company too much power on the web. Google in the end, is also an ad company, which happens to also be starting making it harder for ad blockers to work: https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/08/google_blocking_priva...
The web should be available for all, and not managed by a single company.
But then there’s electron also…
