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'm pretty sure google is more like many small fiefdoms fighting for money and prestige than a unified pack of moustache twirlers. Though there do seem to be a lot of "head up their own ass" engineers there, too, which leads to things like them having 15 different messaging apps and an inability to maintain projects long term.

    Huge bags of money.

    Same as bankers hedge funds anyone really in finance and a whole host of jobs.

    Think oil barons cry themselves to sleep at night.

    Consciouses are for the weak minded. Sleeping pills and alcohol solve that pretty fast
