Well it's a rewrite that'd much faster than chrome now.

Can't things be a work in progress?

Of course they can.

The issue is when you push a work in progress as a replacement for a finished solution

A work in progress that removes significant features that the existing release has is... not a great idea. I'm not sure what percentage of Firefox Android users have more extensions installed than uBlock Origin, but this is a recipe for losing users. And not just any users, but the more-technical power users that tend to be best at evangelizing products to their less-technical friends and family.

That's great for all the people that want a fast browser that doesn't need to support extensions but accidentally installed Firefox instead.
