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.

I personally like LibreWolf , a privacy-focused version of Firefox that has Ublock Origin installed by default and has unnecessary things like Mozilla Pocket removed.

Another option is Ungoogled Chromium, which is just Google Chromium with Google web services removed.
