Well, in this instance remote code actually means remote. In V3 one can no longer use the tabs.executeScript API [1] in which you could pass an arbitrary server rendered string.

V3 kills Userscripts (tampermonkey/violentmonkey). You will no longer be able to execute your own code written with your own hands&brain and stored on your own hard drive.
You can make your own local extension. People will just write easy tool to generate an extension out of userscript(s).

Still not good that they removed that...
