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.

Things that fill me with rage:
-ai summation
- anything that plays audio unprompted.
- auto fill
- any website that greets me with whatever nam I put in
- actually any attempt to anthropomorphize shit, I am not going to call your problem solver Skippy or Jill
- infinite scroll
- dynamically loading as you 'scroll' down
- wildly overcomplicated sites that don't hit the key information
- bad anti ad block

I started thinking about what angers me most when browsing, and...yeah.

@Oggie @gwynnion
- videos that manage to play way before the controls get responsive
- video players that can't be paused with space and can't toggle fullscreen with F
- fake links that are JavaScript actions and thus can't be opened in a tab with middle click
- noscript redirects to different domains so you can't allow JavaScript on the right domain
- forgetting what page I wanted to view after login redirect
- redirect hops that break history back
etc.

@bloody_albatross @Oggie @gwynnion - videos that turn into a hovering miniplayer when you scroll past them
