And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

The EU is rapidly becoming a neoliberal hellehole resembling the US. I no longer have any hope for existing institutions resisting corporate encroachment. Best that can be done is the support of initiatives like the fediverse and foss in general but if the current trend continues even that is in a precarious position.

    The EU is so utterly out of whack right now.

    You got the proposal of chat control on one hand, and stuff like replaceable batteries on the other.

    Like, make up your mind already, do you want to help your citizens or not? It's almost like they do it on purpose to keep our expectations in check.
