Iirc, Websites can’t query addons unless those addons manipulate the DOM in a way that exposes themselves.
They can query extensions.
Addons are things installed inside the browser. Like uBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Firefox Containerr, etc.
Extensions are installed outside the browser. Such as Flashplayer, the Gnome extensions installer, etc.
In my experience, it’s a manageable trade off.
You allow for Python “magic” at the cost of type safety. Or you forgo magic for types, and the resiliency that comes with it.
Day to day, you don’t need magic. With good application of hinting you can stop many bugs before they appear.
When you do need magic, you can usually construct it to work within the type system, or at the very least easily ringfence the tainted typeless code the magic introduced.
The sync/async contradiction is much worse to wrangle.
I last tried KDE when it was KDE3. Then Gnome, xfce, and finally settling on i3/sway
But I got given an old Windows tablet so decided I’d see what is usable as a tablet and I was pleasantly surprised by KDE.
So much so, I’ve ostree-rebased all my machines to it.
The tiling could be better (and it sounds like it was, then wasn’t?), but it’s passable. And simple stuff actually seems to work. Unlike the gnome+sway kludge I have now.

when the US goes right, NZ goes left
The NZ election was unfortunately a year too early.
Usually NZ has less restrictive visa requirements, and is often called “Australia’s back door” due to Au/Nz free travel agreements.
We had the WiiU which had an entire screen in the controller.
Fallout4 had the “pip boy” phone app.

oh that looks like hard work. You’re going to need to hydrate, let me go get you both some electrolytes.

Further: the Canvas API doesn’t have any requirements on rendering accuracy.
By deferring to the GPU, font library, etc, tracking code can generate an image that is in most cases unique to your machine.
So blocking the Canvas API would return a 0. Which is less unique than what it would be normally.
