What changes are they making, and how to prevent them affecting users?

Also, does Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or a VPN with ad-blocking and anti-tracking prevent the new data collection through Chrome?

    Don’t use Google products or Chromium-based web browsers.

    So… Firefox? Are there even any other viable alternatives?

          No, Safaris engine is called WebKit. It’s different, but they’re related:

          Once upon a time there was KHTML. Apple forked it to make WebKit. At some point Google forked WebKit to make Chromium. So now WebKit and Chromium development has diverged from each other over the years.

          Anyway, use Firefox :)

          Firefox is made by a non-profit for the purpose of making a web browser, it’s not made by a giant corporation for the purpose of pushing ads.

      Even though Vivaldi is Chromium-based, they already released a blog post in which they announced that they will disable the Topics API.
