The underhanded way this is being proposed is really something else. It's hosted on a non-google github to provide distance, it's worded in a way that makes it seem like this is something that benefits users, when it's the absolute opposite of that. It subverts the whole concept of a user agent. This is a huge threat to our industry and we cannot allow this to happen.



I agree with everything except the last part...

It's not a "threat to" the industry... It literally _comes from_ the industry... Unless the tech industry is willing to lose one of its biggest sources of revenue, this is exactly what the industry wants...


More precisely, Big Tech.

There are lots of other smaller players in the tech industry who are against monopoly-building hostilities like this.


This. As much as they'd like to pretend they're still free-spirited hippies, this is the tech industry.
