Time frame is always hard to guess when you're in the first part of "gradually, then suddenly," and as a Debian stable user I don't have to care until June 2006 the earliest as long as I have a browser solution and OpenZFS compatibility isn't (deliberately) broken (that alone is a reason to look else where for me).

That browser solution ... bleah; mine has been for some time Brave plus extra security for JavaScript etc. Which Manifest V3 is of course making a nightmare, even if Brave will continue supporting MV2 as long as is practical for them, with a particular focus on five or so most important extensions including NoScript.
First uMatrix, but that is no longer maintained because of MV3, now NoScript is a nightmare as it moves to only using MV3, but the "legacy, unsupported by Google but proven and stable" MV2 version is still available for manual install:
