not interested - any browser based on chromium is going to force manifest V3 and stop supporting ad-blockers. firefox with ublock is the way to go, for me. I like their search engine tho.

Never forget what they did on the Android browser.

Couldn't find the answer around the web, but here's their blog post about the browser!

It looks like it’s fully in house. They say it’s not a fork of any browser and that everything was made by their team

It uses Microsofts WebView2, which is chromium. Also it neither block ads nor support any extension.

But why? That seems stupid. Who wants privacy and ads shown?

It’s still in beta. Extension support is coming, it’s in the article in OP.
