If there were billions to be made from this new tech, secure browsing, then the browser vendors would be moving rapidly toward it. Certainly, more difficult technical challenges are overcome regularly. Surveillance was implemented without users' knowledge and without public debate, presented as a fait accompli, and now the latest tactic is to say there's nothing that can be done about it. People accept that because they feel helpless, but I don't think we should be perpetuating this rhetoric of inevitiability. There's no technical reason it can't be done.
