@kkarhan @gwynnion @torproject strong disagree. I want my browser to protect me from web pages. To block ads. To disable trackers. To remove consent popups without agreeing with them. It is my agent, and I want it to be accountable to me and my interests, against the interests of the servers.

    @sagefault @gwynnion even then @torproject / #TorBrowser does that for ya. Set it to "highest" security and it'll do just that!

    @sagefault @kkarhan @gwynnion @torproject I think the point here is that the browser isn't supposed to be playing AI games locally or worse, contacting an outside server to fetch AI "summaries"

    @sagefault @kkarhan @gwynnion @torproject It's in the name: "User Agent". An agent working on behalf of the user. Not some other entity; me. For me. I tell it what to do. Not the other way round, and no more and no less. I tell it to get out of my way - it should let me fire off all the foot cannons I want. I tell it to protect me - it should do so in the manner I want. User Agent. *My* agent.
