The @tag has published the first draft of a Group Note titled "Web User Agents". Web user agents include both web browsers and other intermediaries between end-users and the web. Each user agent serves its user, not any of the other constituencies. A user agent owes its user various duties, which should be established through collective discussions and embodied in the various standards that user agents implement. Feedback and comments on this document are welcome. https://www.w3.org/news/2025/group-note-draft-web-user-agents/
