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 have exceeding low expectations, but I would hope that would be grounds for an antitrust lawsuit against Google as Chromium browsers account for roughly 70% of all users (based on numbers I pulled from Wikipedia)

Antitrust lawsuit? What's that?

When is the last time any of the big tech companies got hit with antitrust? Microsoft is brazenly doing shit on windows they wouldn't even dream of in early 2000s. Resetting user defaults to their products. Constantly advertising their products when user launches a competitors software.

They don't give a fuck and neither do the governments.
