Unping all the links!
Tuxman:
I assume that more and more Chromium-based browsers will get rid of that flag over time. Wait for 2020!
(I had not tested Vivaldi this time. I can confirm that my version - a recent(ish) beta - still has the flag.)
4wd:
The latest version of Iridium, (based on Chrome v73), has it disabled by default.

About all I can say is it works well since I currently have no real preference in a browser and have something like 8 of them on the machine and bounce between them all depending on the sites I'm visiting.
I did install it as the default on the wife's machine because Palemoon was becoming incompatible with the sites she used and with Iridium's predisposition towards privacy it meant I didn't need to trawl through its settings beforehand.
I haven't heard any screaming about anything not working so it passed that test.
It's available as a portable so it's easy enough to try it out.
Tuxman:
It seems that I'll have to port the extension to Firefox...
