With the migration to Cromium, Firefox has become impervious to add-ons

This speaks of who owns whom. There is no Mozilla foundation anymore. Their work here is done! They have taken glorious Netscape from AOL, fubared it completely, and ran away, flailing their hands. From now on there is only one search engine - Google - and there is only one browser - Chrome.

Firefox made sense only due to its add-ons. Without add-ons it was "just another browser", and a mediocre one. Add-ons made Firefox attractive. And not just any add-ons: the very specific ones, in fact. They were:

• NoScript - to protect from spying and privacy invasion
• AdBlock [RIP], uBlock - to protect from spying
• Cookie Monster [RIP], CookieMaster - to protect from spying
• DownThemAll [RIP] - to download using multiple streams
• Download Flash and Video - to keep interesting videos from vanishing from the face of the Earth.
• and a number of other extensions.

One after another they had been killed off with wholehearted agreement and active assistance by Mozilla foundation, who worked hard day and night to kill good extensions. With every next, rapidly pumped out, version of Firefox, one after another the extensions died off. Now the most important extensions are practically unusable and tada! Firefox suddenly does not make any sense anymore. Who wins? Google.
