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.

Dang, I liked chrome - ff felt bloated and I could never get into safari. Anything else I could try?

Firefox is faster than Chrome as of the latest builds.

Never had any issues with speed of any browser, so I don't really get that - bloated mostly in the the sense of UI. But it's also been I think some years since I tried, maybe it's time to try it out again.

Wans't there a huge speed difference on the Google websites with Firefox at some point? I've always used Firefox and will never go to chrome but damn YouTube/maps/... feel slow on Firefox

I'm sure it's not intentional /s
