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.

Engineers’ jobs are to make money for their employers, not to make user’s lives easier

    All of these Google engineers could work anywhere they want. They chose to work for Google and they choose to continue working on projects that they know actively hurt others. They do share responsibility.

    I'm getting sick of devs acting like ethics doesn't apply to them. The feds need to start heavily regulating tech companies, and they can start by breaking up Google

    Edit: had no idea I was posting on a French community, my bad
