Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?

yes, it will.

whether or not a 'fully functional' and fully-featured content blocker remains available for third-party browsers that use chromium as their core will depend on those third-parties and what they add, or add back, to their own releases to support those kinds of browser extensions.

Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!

Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser
