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.

What are the 3 internets?

Original open internet mainly for military and university use?

Web 2.0 is actually the third iteration because user created content takes off?
