Safari 18 will automatically transition users to passkeys [video]
Here's a great github discussion about passkey plaintext exports.
Apparently, the FIDO alliance is considering adding an attestation feature that would allow websites to block various passkey implementations:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407#iss...
e.g., they could block ones that allow exports, or they could block ones that are FOSS. To their credit, it looks like Apple's throwing their weight around to prevent such blocking from being technically possible.
The more I hear about this standard, the more concerned I become.

>UPSTREAM THEMSELVES decided not to include in default/recommended build instructions
This is false, or at the very least misleading. It doesn't take much to go on the repository and give a closer look instead of repeating "what other said". Kwpolska already wrote it in this thread, -DWITH_XC_ALL (the flag that's been turned OFF in the original Debian package rules) is explicitly called in the build instructions, and not only there but also one release tool [1] and snap config [2]. This is merely how the project manages its build configuration, with specific flags turned off and one master toggle enabled by default (or expected to be passed to cmake/bash release tool). Same thing for the ppa packaging. [3]

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.
I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

What are the compelling advantages of Chrome nowadays?
Chrome is working to limit the capabilities of ad blockers:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/11/chrome-pushes...
Whereas a compelling advantage of Firefox is that uBlock Origin works best in Firefox:

Advertising networks have often been vectors for malware. Using an ad blocker is an important security measure. Even the FBI recommends ad blockers:

Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules
That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...
> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.
What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.
It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.
> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.
This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.
