Honest question: I use (and like) Firefox and rely on many of its features including password vault. However, should I be looking elsewhere? Any suggestions? (I avoid Google Chrome.)

Firefox will continue to survive for a long time, at least Mozilla has the money to do so for many many years. I would not panic, also because there is no other viable alternative to Chrome or Chrome/Webkit based browsers other than Firefox that I know of. And Firefox is actually a very good browser and better than Chrome in some aspects.

Unfortunately, nothing non-Chromium based.

As for the password vault, I suggest you switch to Bitwarden. But for browsers? There isn't really much of a choice, it's either Firefox or Chromium-based.

I was getting uncomfortable with how I was tied into google chrome so I started storing my passwords in keepass.

Safari is fine (if you have a Mac), it’s great on battery life and I actually use it for web dev. If you’re happy with Firefox I’d say just keep using it.

    Yes that’s true, I do miss it but I’ve found 1Blocker and adguard home to be sufficient

      Hmm I've taken a quick look at these two but I have questions: - are their blocking lists public so they can be verified? - adguard home seems to be a dns based solution that you install in your home... which means it won't help when you're on someone else's wifi - also adguard is "protecting your children". I just want tracking protection not censorship.

No, it is still your only option. And using it is the best way of signalling that it is still an important browser.
