I miss the early days of Firefox extensions (circa 2004) where an extension could in very powerful ways completely change the layout/functionality of your browser; when they had near unlimited access to the XUL and could change anything and everything.
I used a ton of very useful extensions then. Nested tabs were one of my favorites. These days I've got a password manager, a bookmark checker, and a tab manager I wrote myself.
They're just not allowed to do anything too useful these days - I know what they have access to, I write Chrome extensions. A lot of them should just be standalone desktop apps.
Like most things, normies came in, shot themselves in the foot, made a fuss, and now we can't have nice things.
