I see a web browser like a TV screen. An I need it to do is display the internet with nothing in the way. Any attempt to add built-in "smart" features to it will make it worse. If I want something else added to it, I'll plug it in myself.

Man I am the complete opposite. I need my browser to display the Web with tons and tons of tweaks and adjustments and filters in place to make it actually readable for me. Rawdogging the Web in 2025 is wild.

That's fine. Those are the plugins you chose to install for your particular tastes and these are very important options to have available to the user should he choose to use them. That's not what I meant by "smart" features.

What I don't want is my browser with built-in modern equivalents of Bonzi Buddy that you can't remove.
