And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.

    It’s a complete subjective feeling, I switched to chrome because it felt lighter and was easier to synch over several devices. Just checked FF out and it looks very different to the last time I saw it, so I will try it.

      Good luck. Credit to you for trying again :). There is FF sync where you can sync between devices easier also.

      If you haven’t tried in recent years, I’d suggest doing it again. Just as chrome has significantly increased in size and resource usage from its days of advertising how quick and light it is (it didn’t stop advertising those points for no reason), Firefox has improved dramatically. I forget what post I was on but someone said there’s always someone who badmouths Firefox simply because they haven’t tried it recently. It really is true. Tech evolves so quickly these days, there’s no reason to not give it a shot again.
