"I think web browsers are going to morph into personal internet agents, responsible with logging, searching, interfacing with external APIs and services, filtering ads, news and mail, making sure we don't accidentally leak personal information"
And you think that will happen, while the browsers are still mostly add funded?
But I am with you, that this is a change, I want to see, too.
- skinkestek 5y agoThere is an extension for Firefox (Memex Go?) that attempts something very similar and succeeds to a large degree. I think I sponsored it for a year or something by paying for it even though I didn't use it much but I must have used it to some degree because on one or more of my machines it injects interesting results from my earlier browsing when I search in DDG (or was it Google?) at least. I'm really impressed how far they've taken this idea even as Mozilla has simultaneously been busy dismantling the extension API that made Firefox great.
