And FF Developer Edition still lets you install unsigned extensions.

waterfox has been doing since firefox stopped doing it, actually waterfox is doing right everything firefox does wrong:

    Disabled Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)
    Disabled Web Runtime (deprecated as of 2015)
    Removed Pocket
    Removed Telemetry
    Removed data collection
    Removed startup profiling
    Allow running of all 64-Bit NPAPI plugins
    Allow running of unsigned extensions
    Removal of Sponsored Tiles on New Tab Page
    Addition of Duplicate Tab option
    Locale selector in about:preferences > General

Actually, in stock chrome, it's much easier to install 3rd-party extensions than in stock ff.

Unless you are on Windows, there Chrome makes them impossible.

No, you just load an unpacked extension in developer mode. Hard but not impossible

That’s removed on every restart of the browser on Windows nowadays.
