All my points stand * VimFX still works in the latest release of Firefox * If random people on the internet can square it, so probably could the Firefox team, they didn't need to keep all features * They decided to handicap their addons to match Chrome, because "security" and lost users * Chrome is now doing the same > ...but I the impression that this means that pretty much no extensions from the 56 era will work any more. Look at VimFx’s changelog... The changelog shows a fix this month for the firefox 127 this month, the current version is 126. And the readme clearly states firefox-esr 115+. You don't get more working than that > WebExtension era, extensions almost never break Any other recent extension needs way more maintenance to keep up with the constant evolving of the WebExtensions apis. And you can look at their logs. Years to partially catch up, and much more work for worse user experience https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl https://github.com/philc/vimium https://github.com/philc/vimium > ..they had too much access to browser internals.. All apps have to much access, that's is the same lame excuse Google is using now. All extensions are reviewed by Google/Mozilla and manually installed by the user. If they can't keep them safe hire someone who can. Especially Chrome that already has APIs for random websites to access USBs, filesystem, etc..
