But none of my extensions & normal accessibility tools will work.
I keep pointing out CanvasKit's problems because it's incredibly harmful & retrogressive. That it's convenient for you the app developer doesnt offer any succor to those of us who want to use extensions, accessibility tools we know, and in general obstructs view-source usability.
I dont think it's necessarily nepharious intent ("oh maybe we can make a canvas renderer"...), but my gosh, to even a casual web enthusaist, it so clearly a shortsighted & cruel misuse of the web. It prevents so much of the genetics & capabilities of the web to treat it like a bunch of dumb pixels, prevents so much of the flexibility & ecosystem that html enables from happening, replacing it with solipsistic caring only about yourself.
