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.

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