So what’s the conclusion? Can we use a different Chrome based browser and avoid MV3? What’s the decision for privacy after this has happened?

The little I've read bout this says that maintaining MV2 might be something as well.

If other chromium based browsers didn't have this issue, that would be great, but likely in time Youtube won't support browsers that don't have MV3. Probably still have some time though.

Switched to Firefox yesterday, I suggest you do the same.

If you're going to switch you should switch to a better option. I've been using librewolf for years since Firefox doesn't have the best track record either.
