I hope Brave deletes this from Chromium if it's present in the source code.

Tab groups is pretty useful. My partner refused to try firefox in the past because it didn't have tab groups and now they're able to use it as their main browser.
It's useful, but it's a meaningless feature.
We've been asking for a good JS and HTML engine, faster than what Firefox uses, and for better compatibility with websites (there are webs that don't work properly with Firefox). And to not put the Manifest V3 into Firefox (which it's done already, besides we still have uBlock Origin working as intended, for now, because nobody knows what's going to happen with that in the future).
And I think that's way more important that being able to group tabs.

So... Nothing really useful or what users are asking for a long time...
And we then ask why people aren't using Firefox...

I really like those local AI features. It's tempting me yo move to vanilla Firefox over LibreWolf...
I moved long ago, I don't regret anything.
What would be my options as an end user who does not want to root his device
For now, there isn't an alternative. Maybe a Pixel phone and GrapheneOS with the sandboxed Play Store would be the only choice, but for now, nobody knows.

If you want a hardened version of Firefox, download LibreWolf.

I know I risk being down voted remorselessly but I have to put this in context. Where in the real world is anonymity considered ok? If I only put a flyer through someone's letterbox here in the UK, I have to identify myself. If I sell a physical product I not only have to identify myself but take on serious legal liability. An author can take on a pseudonym but only via an identified publisher.
In fact that latter example might provide a solution. Set up a company willing to publish apps whilst hiding the actual developer's identity.

It should be everywhere, no matter the place or the platform.

The day people stop inventing stuff like that and they put the same effort in do really good, quality code... That day, we might start having decent software and not Electron or React apps everywhere...
God bless old times when programmers cared about quality rather than stuff like this... "vive coding"... My God...

Mozilla develops a better browser than Chrome in a lot of ways, and they do it with a tiny fraction of their budget. I would not describe that as "money wasting".
The only thing Mozilla has right now better than Chrome is that the APIs needed for uBlock Origin to work as intented exist.
