I don't want to "talk" to my browser. I don't want my browser to "summarize" things. I don't want my browser to "help" me with things. I don't want my browser to do anything except show me web pages and shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

It's meant to display websites just like a PDF reader is supposed to render those files or an Image viewer is supposed to show me supported files.

@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 @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"
