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.

I surely deserve death for using a browser you don’t like.

I'm not sure how you managed to come to that conclusion. You claimed Firefox is a poor choice, I'm demonstrating why I believe your alternative choice is worse. Nevermind the fact that use of Chromium is effectively an acceptance of Google's monopoly over the web standards, which is the point we're all arguing here. If you can't handle criticism you should reconsider making such hyperbolic remarks.
