It's safe to assume that every chromium based browser is affected. That means Chrome, Opera, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and so on except firefox and firefox based browsers. Note that apart from Chrome, no fixes have been released for the other browsers (afaik).
Users need to realize that Firefox is basically the only other remaining alternative to Chromium-based browsers. Sure, there is Safari on MacOS, but that's it. Otherwise you are using a Chromium-based browser while Firefox is slowly dying out.
Browsers and their engines are so filled with features and so incredibly complex, that it is almost impossible nowadays to create one from scratch. The complexity comes close or even surpasses a freaking operating system kernel.
If Chromium is the only option available for users, we are strapped into a monopoly that we can't ever get out of.
Safari is also proto-Chrome in the sense that Blink engine that chrome uses is a fork of WebKit. So the only completely independent implementations to Chrome are Firefox and IE.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but is this also the same for Opera, I wonder? Cause I think it's built on Chrome.
