The only plugin I really care about is ublock origin. If that stays, I'll keep ff otherwise I'll go back to chrome. I suppose there's no way of knowing whether a given plug in is possible in future without having access to the source.


most of those will end up with webextension versions. I don't know what they all do, so i can't say all.

I do know that ones like ghostery and lastpass have financial incentives, while others (like vimfx) are already planning on it. Others don't seem to rely on many (if at all) XUL/XPCOM features


It's just incredible that they're going to do away with XUL. Imagine if Google somehow decided to remove all the Android apps in the Play Store and told everybody to rewrite their apps or die. And what's even worse, most addon writers don't even receive money for that.

This is going to kill the addon community but I guess they don't care at all.
