Firefox did them a favor by trashing the extension ecosystem that had put the pressure on Google in the first place.

Firefox did it because of security/performance concerns. Being able to customize UI doesn't lend itself to easy refactoring.

In order to compete with Chrome most of XUL extensions had to go.

Hyrum's law in practice.

Isn't that the same concerns used in pushing Mv3?

XUL was a legacy system and it was blocking many optimization/refactors.

Does Mv2 really hold Chrome back?
