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.

    I’m a software engineer. I know what a TODO is.

    My point is that privacy should have been a core design consideration, not something you factor in and handle later as a secondary concern. Put another way: the initial problem thesis that they wrote a proposal to solve should have included the idea of user privacy as a core element.

    It’s a matter of incorrectly prioritized design goals that yield something which has very obvious potential to be actively harmful to users.
