This is just FUD. Especially as Mozilla is working closely with the developers of the most popular add ons to make sure all capabilities they need will be available (see also webextension experiments).
Of course not all capabilities of XUL will make it, but as Chrome has a vibrant extensive add on community around WebExtension the idea that most usecases are affected is implausible.
- sametmax 10y agoApparently, some very popular extensions still have problems with it. The one that bother me the most is tab group: https://github.com/Quicksaver/Tab-Groups/issues/535 https://github.com/Quicksaver/Tab-Groups/issues/535 It was an feature of Firefox that I loved. They removed it. So I now use the extension. And the author is now announcing he won't be able to port it.
