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.

    Easy to confuse stupidity with malice. They’re chasing one thing and one thing only: the almighty dollar. Look at it through that lens and their actions make sense. For the rest of us though, that’s just stupid.

      Not just the almighty dollar.

      Some people just pursue a perceived challenge with zero care for the terrible consequences of it.

      either way, they need to be stopped

      if they were chasing the dollar, they would be clever about it. This just looks like they are penny wise and pound foolish.
