Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

We need webmasters to nudge people away from Chrome. E.g. show an annoying popup on opening the page or add a small delay.

Better yet, include some piece of code in your webpage that is dynamically loaded from e.g. EFF.org or mozilla.org.

That way, you give these organizations the power to nuke Chrome, one day.

This can also be seen as a kind of mutually assured destruction approach, to keep Google in check.
