We generally live in a RFC1918 n stuff world which describes "internal" and "external". IPv6 focusses the boundary between you and me in a different way.
Why should my browser decide what I do on my own home network?
Why should a mere tool pontificate about stuff that I know more about than the kids who developed it? Fine, I should probably develop my own browser in ASM but I don't speak nonsense. I sort of know what a processor register is but it would probably bully me.
I am increasingly seeing top down decisions from monstrously huge corporations "for my own good" and I am increasingly getting worried. I rant at my elected government officials because that is what they are for (I don't really) but commercial corps are increasingly insinuating themselves into important discussions and their moral stance is undecipherable.
