Anyone able to take a look at my recent Blockchain transfer and give me an estimate on when it might show up? Didn't realize transfers were getting delayed again due to low fees, but here we are... really appreciate any input, it's been almost a full day now.

It has unconfirmed parent which was processed with low fee of 8.072 sat/vbyte. https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/07c453e4729317ff8a47ab72b2db8b07c002282b4afc041240cb233e3e994fcb The parent has 56 inputs and 199 outputs. If the transaction does not have unconfirmed parent, it supposed to have been confirme no long after you broadcasted it.

Yes. Do not use such platform or exchange that will process transactions with such low fee again. Go for better ones.

I've always used my Blockchain wallet for nearly 10 years now to store & move around my btc..any suggestions for a better alternative? Also, by looking at my transaction is it possible it could still confirm today?

Seems you got lucky, somebody else got tired of waiting and decided to pay over 2000sat/vb in a CPFP tx: https://mempool.space/tx/ef5ecc933d4caab8142b4357b1eb8f2f11ec027053b26012e097bb95f3001544 Electrum, you're always in control and can decide how much you pay in fees.
