I know that transition is coming up and thinking about upgrading, but every WaniKani plugin breaking would be a pretty big drawback for me

Since it runs in the browser, I donāt think there would be any difference, and Iām guessing that chrome will be available from the day one of the release of those macs. I think that the chrome for apple silicon is going to support the desktop extensions.
You should only have to worry about the applications that are installed.
Anyway, are you sure you want to upgrade to a mac? Iād really consider going for another laptop, maybe waiting the new generation of laptops with ryzen 5xxx. You are going to get a lot more power for less money.
Ah, I see.
I use Final Cut Pro for my video editing and have a pretty deep collection of plugins and motion templates for it (who knows if those are going to survive as well though lol) so in general Iām looking at Macbooks for the time being. However, Iām not in desperate need of anything new so Iāll probably give it a couple of months.
But yeh, they are criminally expensive for how poorly they perform compared to Windows laptops.

chrome isnt the only browser supporting wk addons, itās also an evil browser (chrome itself, not chromium or derivatives)
Care to elaborate on the evil browser part?
the scope of the issue goes much further, but generally it seems a lot of chrome users still sign-in to the browser itself, have mobile voice search always enabled, or normalize the ānothing to hideā fallacy (plus most people dont go through the options of the apps or OSs they use while chrome is set to not so friendly defaults)
itās closed-source software from the same company that scans most peopleās emails, that hosts/scans most peopleās videos, that logs most peopleās gps locations, that harvests wifi names by location while driving by, that pushes its own web standards or web development quirks, etc
dont forget the distinction, āchromeā the closed source browser, not āchromiumā the open source broser or others based on it like opera/vivaldi/brave/edge (but some others might have similar issues, especially edge)
EDIT: youāre still free to choose to use it of course, just make it intentional
My recommendation is to use Brave if you are already comfortable with chrome. Itās a chromium-based browser with a lot of privacy options.
