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.

    There’s a horde of people that doesn’t give a shit though. If they introduce this without overdoing the ads, it might get traction. And then they ramp up the ads and tracking in 10 yrs. Pretty scary, I hope its DOA.

    Then again, if you wrap the whole page in webassembly, there’s not a lot you can do with current ad blocking technologies. May need to have machine learning based blocking or something

        I was thinking about the possibility of rendering UI with webgl/webgpu, but I now realized that it does not require webassembly. Can already be done from JS
