“This transition is very painful for extension developers, and many existing extensions won’t take this hurdle,” says Wladimir Palant, a developer with Firefox’s most-used extension, AdBlock Plus. Programmers had to start working with Firefox’s replacement before it was mature enough to use, he says. Google’s Hangouts extension is another casualty.
Change is hard but necessary, Beard argues. “If you try to make everyone happy, you’re not making anyone happy,” he says. “Large organizations with hundreds of millions of users get defensive and try to keep everybody happy. Ultimately, you end up with a mediocre product and experience.”
En route pour une nouvelle guerre des navigateurs ?
