This is why I drew a line in the sand.
The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency.
A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you.
@arstechnica maybe worth mentioning us as an alternative ;)
