    There have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:

    1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
    2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.

    Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.

      @jwz I miss the clock widget on Mosaic. It really helped me not waste an *entire* night on the WWW.

        3. Vimperator extension for Firefox (can't remember the year). Using vim keys for absolutely everything was a boost.

        Tridactyl is carrying the torch the best it can with new limitations on the browser.
