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.

    Depends on if they used cryptographic signatures. Those would be impossible to spoof because any change in the client would change the hash completely.

      Google silently shipping signed chrome executables soon…

          Nah, chromium by itself is okay. Its just google, microshit and everyone else using the chromium source to ship as much telemetry, ads, data as possible.
