When comparing my ideas for stealth [1] with this, I found that a lot of people assume that a local browsing data cache makes them vulnerable.
But, I think that a browsing cache makes peer clients stronger, because they do not have to make so many (potentially trackable) requests to a web server anymore.
Any request shared is another tracking prevented.
When it comes to signalling from HTML content, I think the web is kind of broken. Sure, we have RSS (it was great!) and we have opensearchdescription, and dublin core as a metadata initiative.
But what I think is missing is a way to extract the real content from the website. Imagine a real working and defined "reader mode" that's integrated as a standard, including all the metadata like topics, keywords etc. It would save so much computation time when thinking about all the SEO fraud that's happening these days.
Of course, incentives are always clicks, traffic, and tracking. Therefore nobody will implement it until forced to by Google or Facebook.
I decided to focus primarily on automation of extraction, because I think it is a necessary step to solve in order to reach a higher plane of knowledge automation.
