Have you checked out Vivaldi? Incredibly customizable UI over Chromium, if you do make the switch from FF.

I like Vivaldi and was seriously considering a switch away from Chrome as I'm a past Opera fan ... but it's still "just another" Chromium-based browser likely to be affected by the upcoming Manifest v3 changes that will limit adblocking browser extensions.

I'm running more and more with Firefox these days and trialing AdGuard Home, Blocky, Technitium in parallel in anticipation of having to recommend solutions to friends and family if the Chrome-o'verse dissolves into a ad strewn zombie landscape post full Mv3 rollout.

( okay, a little over dramatic there )

both Vivaldi and Brave claim to keep supporting MV2 extensions

Good to know, I'll keep an eye on that.

As someone in the " ~60, programming since 12, former usenet pre WWW " bracket I'm troubled(?) | perturbed by the convergance toward an all Chromium browser engine aspects here, Mv3 is but a single example of what can occur when there's a borg dominated domain.
