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.

    I don’t think Google engineers are living paycheck to paycheck,

    The median total compensation for a Google employee in 2022 was $279,802. The highest-paid software engineers can make up to $718,000 a year in base salary, although most reported making between $100,000 to $375,000 in base salary. They can also receive bonuses of up to $605,000. This would put them in the top 1% of earners in the country.

    Google Software Engineer Salaries, average compensation by level:

    Level Total
    L3 (Entry Level) $192K
    L4 $268K
    L5 $372K
    L6 $543K

      Well, living paycheck to paycheck isn’t directly tied to your salary, but to your spending versus your salary. So they could easily live paycheck to paycheck, but it’s probably less common with that amount of income. I do agree with you that I don’t think Google engineers live paycheck to paycheck.

        I see what you’re saying but I still disagree. If you are making that much money and living paycheck to paycheck, it’s your own fault and is a lack of self control or money management knowledge. If you’re making $7.25 an hour and living paycheck to paycheck, no amount of self control and money management knowledge will mean you aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. Living paycheck to paycheck is a personal failing when you’re in the top 1% of earners in the country.

          You disagree with that I don’t think Google engineers live paycheck to paycheck?

          Oh, and I disagree with your assertion that you can’t get out of living paycheck to paycheck on 7.25 an hour. It’s obviously harder, because everyone has a minimum amount of money necessary just to live, but I’ve lived on 5.5 an hour when calculated as 7.5 hours 5 days a week 4 weeks a month (because that was easier to calculate; the actual monthly spend that 5.5 was calculated from was calculated at 30 days per month instead of the 28 the per hour calculation was made from (and if the per hour calculation was made more exact it would lower the effective remuneration per hour necessary to survive that month))
