Features of an application are not subject to whimsy. "We felt like now was a good time to take away or bastardize this thing - Oh and we are going to force it on to users or else they get screwed by some hacker." The bug discussion they had is unimportant. They have the power to change things, but the question is do they have the _authority. This is the crux. They believe they do. Users disagree.

That said... BOOO! I use compact mode pretty much anywhere I'm not on a huge 4k screen. Which admittedly isn't often these days, but I do plan to get my laptop running again eventually.
I'm more amused by the kind of thinking that goes into "you can't tell me what to do". If people who do open source didn't have the authority over their own code, what would that mean for the longevity of the movement? Baby-bathwater-browser.

Yep - especially ironic from people who are busy telling other people what to do.
