Yes, by default every Chromium browser is affected. It is just a matter of

whether they want to extend it to the enterprise time (which Edge and Opera won't do IIRC)
whether they'd try to keep it working after enterprise time (maybe Brave and Vivaldi, but it could take a lot of effort)
whether they even have an alternative place to download extensions from if CWS takes MV2 extensions down (Brave has some workaround for few extensions, not sure about others)

Maybe there will be some devs working on Ungoogled Chromium to keep the support, but they also have to think where users would even get the extensions from.
