Can't believe Google is actually following through on this after the initial backlash. Man, I hope this blows up in their face. It'd be good to see their market share cut in half, and them trying to backpedal on this decision in full damage control mode.
The bit of good news is that apparently the webRequest API won't be gutted from the browser entirely, since the recent articles all mention that the API will still be available to enterprise users. Presumably, this means Google is only really self sabotaging Google Chrome, not Chromium. If they can enable the capability, other Chromium forks should be able to as well.
