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.

As i said, if it bothers you, don’t use their services. Buy using their services and paying for it you are encouraging them even more. And trust me, at the end of they you don’t need TV and you don’t need google to live a happy life.

Man, we just had a scandal about Facebook tracking on the IRS website. You don’t need TV to live your life, but you definitely need to file your taxes and do stuff on the Internet to live a happy life.

“Vote with your wallet” is neoliberal bullshit. Just check recent FAANG acquisitions to verify that.
