>What features has Google killed, do you think? How often has this been a problem, do you think?

Unless you've been living under a rock, it's hard to miss manifest v2 vs v3.

Agreed, that stings. Its extremely visible & painful. I want to believe there was some intent, to make extensions that weren't such an extreme hazard, so that the Google Web Store could be better. But it's obviously just a massive regression in user agency, and miserable, and directly undoes so much of the good that was the web.

I still think this is, like, the one example. Its a bloody awful one though.

Chrome was never about user agency though. The ideal Chrome is to be an un-configurable window to the Web, hence the name (it is the window chrome).
