it's only a good thing as it will be maybe one less plugin to deal with but i'd argue its a bad thing overall; if we cannot use curl/lynx/ect to hit a website to view somebody's squabbling on their blog, to not see the url to an image/video without loading it when you want to, something is amiss. IMO, JS and other newer components are trying to make a general purpose OS out of the browser, and its a bit too much; which yes leads to needing to handle fingerprinting outside the browser; but really all this to stop the adtech from tracking our asses?
