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.

    Yeah you can do that if you don’t need your job to survive. If you live paycheck to paycheck it’s much harder to say no.

      Yes. And Google engineers can easily get an engineering job anywhere else so they’ll be fine if they say no.

      I don’t think Google engineers are living paycheck to paycheck,

      The median total compensation for a Google employee in 2022 was $279,802. The highest-paid software engineers can make up to $718,000 a year in base salary, although most reported making between $100,000 to $375,000 in base salary. They can also receive bonuses of up to $605,000. This would put them in the top 1% of earners in the country.

      Google Software Engineer Salaries, average compensation by level:

      Level Total
      L3 (Entry Level) $192K
      L4 $268K
      L5 $372K
      L6 $543K
