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.

    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.

      Bloated is a weird nebulous term. Chrome is bloated because of telemetry. Bloat generally means things in the software that are not needy.

      I think clunky is the term you’re looking for. I cannot think of what it has in the UI that isn’t needed.

        It’s a complete subjective feeling, I switched to chrome because it felt lighter and was easier to synch over several devices. Just checked FF out and it looks very different to the last time I saw it, so I will try it.
