Does unaltered include things like colorblind extension that change colors to more easily differentiate between some red/green for example? Or stuff like reddit enhancement suite? Sounds like a good way to kill other possible useful extensions.

That's exactly what it will do. Don't believe the bullshit in their "non-goals" section, they don't give a fuck. If accessibility extensions happen to continue working (at least temporarily), it will be by accident, because they for damn sure aren't going to spend even a second on compatibility.

Shit man, this would ruin even the small internet. I won't even be able to cheat on dragcave. And most of what I was doing was keeping a tally of my collection since the site doesn't do that. But there's no way page modifications wouldn't be caught and punished no matter what they actually do.
