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 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.

Edited typos

    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

    What's the Firefox button? I don't use any extension to remove it, but I also don't see any button tied to FF itself that I need to remove.
