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.

      Back when RAM wasn’t in the gigabytes for everyone, it just started bloating tabs and usage like crazy. Chrome handled it better and faster

      Things have flipped, where Chromium is super bloated

      I loved it around 20 years ago, but somewhere towards the mid-to-late 00’s it got bloated and slow. It was like that probably until recently if i’m being honest. I heard it’s maybe better now but i’m not sure.

        It got better years ago. I stopped using it around the late 00’s myself because it was consuming all of my RAM. But I started using it again about 5 years ago and it’s better than chrome now.

          I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button
