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.
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.
