> Is Mozilla really trying to juxtapose themselves here against another browser that removes support for power user customization like they don't do it? That's wild. Is there no one left at Moz that remembers them throwing away the entire ecosystem of XUL based extensions that allowed for many things that current Firefox builds don't re: blocking and UI customization.
Dropping XUL wasn't some 'hahah, own the power users' thing, it was a move to allow the Firefox architecture to modernize, with XUL this wasn't possible. I have plenty of criticisms of Mozilla, but simplifying things to the point of removing all important context is not the way to do it imo.
Dropping WebRequest API wasn't some 'hahah, own the power users' thing, it was a move to allow the Chrome architecture to modernize, with WebRequest API this wasn't possible. I have plenty of criticisms of Chrome, but simplifying things to the point of removing all important context is not the way to do it imo.
