This is going to hurt firefox badly. Many extensions authors don't maintain their extensions or find the migration to webextensions too hard(with lack of some equivalent apis). Firefox remaining userbase depends on these extensions.
The questionable allocation of time and resources in recent years towards irrelevant (to wider userbase) side projects make it seem firefox will lose the "second place" in market share. With a marketshare below 3% sites will start ignoring it in favor of Chrome monoculture and subservience to Google.
- sametmax 9y ago> This is going to hurt firefox badly. Speculation. I have only one extension I miss from the transition (lazarus), and I use tons of them. Most extensions of crap. Most important ones will be ported. I only see people going crazy over it in the tech saavy-complaining-experts crowd like HN comments. > Firefox remaining userbase depends on these extensions. I install Firefox on 20 to 30 machines every years. Most people just want ad block. Sometime last pass. The rest a rounding errors. > With a marketshare below 3% sites will start ignoring it in favor of Chrome monoculture and subservience to Google. 3 %. LOL. You are one those dooms day persons right ?
