"This post really marks the final end of Firefox. The end of a truly robust Add-On model is the only thing remaining at all that sets Firefox apart. The Foundation’s constant running after being a Chrome-alike has finally run the browser into the ground fully."

Really in general the browser vendors are all killing the web day by day. Maybe ~2004 to around 2013/2014 or so will be remembered as the golden age of web browsers. NPAPI worked in major browsers, you were allowed to install extensions without Mozilla or Google's permission, and Firefox had yet to mutilate its interface in an attempt to be a Chrome lookalike.
