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.

    Well, living paycheck to paycheck isn’t directly tied to your salary, but to your spending versus your salary. So they could easily live paycheck to paycheck, but it’s probably less common with that amount of income. I do agree with you that I don’t think Google engineers live paycheck to paycheck.

      I see what you’re saying but I still disagree. If you are making that much money and living paycheck to paycheck, it’s your own fault and is a lack of self control or money management knowledge. If you’re making $7.25 an hour and living paycheck to paycheck, no amount of self control and money management knowledge will mean you aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. Living paycheck to paycheck is a personal failing when you’re in the top 1% of earners in the country.

        You disagree with that I don’t think Google engineers live paycheck to paycheck?

        Oh, and I disagree with your assertion that you can’t get out of living paycheck to paycheck on 7.25 an hour. It’s obviously harder, because everyone has a minimum amount of money necessary just to live, but I’ve lived on 5.5 an hour when calculated as 7.5 hours 5 days a week 4 weeks a month (because that was easier to calculate; the actual monthly spend that 5.5 was calculated from was calculated at 30 days per month instead of the 28 the per hour calculation was made from (and if the per hour calculation was made more exact it would lower the effective remuneration per hour necessary to survive that month))
