I use this all the time just to improve websites I visit, change colors or adjust workflows to make them less jank. My work jira is reskinned with violet monkey.
They're called userscripts. Making folks have to enter a dev mode to use them feels abominable.
Also seems like this narrowly targets just userscripting cases, while ignoring any other use cases where we might want to have dynamic behavior. It still doesn't allow me to write an extension that lets me ship up code & run it. I get this is by design, to improve security, but it feels so much less like my user agent when I'm outlawed from running whole categories of code in the browser.
My best hope is that many of the dynamic code practices are enforced chiefly by the web store. And that we can sideload whatever we want.
