Re: The Future of Developing Firefox Add-ons
I think the problem is visible in Mozilla's own statement:
However, the whole point of many extensions is to radically alter the platform. Which is obviously impossible with a loosely-coupled approach.
In the past, if you wanted something different to everyone else, the answer was: Write an extension to do it. Now, it seems, the answer is: Too bad, you can't have it.
Now, in most spheres of programming, loose coupling is generally assumed to be a positive, and indeed it does make development easier.WebExtensions are decoupled from the platform
