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.

As long as it’s just text you don’t have the same insane needs for storage and data throughput as something using a lot of images and video. Keeping it contained to a small amount of topics for yourself also decreases how much it’s used and the corresponding costs associated. Since it then is spread over very many people the costs don’t get too wild for each person. Remember also that the “internet death hug” is a thing that can happen more readily to smaller disparate sites.
I’m not really expecting millions of visitors to “inferno’s corner of the web” though.
Images and video should be less of a problem as time progresses. Like I said, bandwidth is increasing, storage is already fairly cheap. This isn’t about hosting the next YouTube or imgur, either.
