This sounds like a browser extension.



Yeah, but if you brand it like a browser and if you're french, you're pretty likely to get EU funds to burn.

From a nordic perspective:

- We could have gotten our vaccines quicker outside of the EU.

- Insane amounts of our tax money is spent on idotic programs, often favoring France and Germany.

Somehow, an EU membership seems a lot lot less appealing now.


From having worked at a large French mobile operator, I can tell you that the EU money granted in European projects was/is not solely favoring France and Germany: we had a couple of people working full time to put together proposals for EU funded projects; they had a very high success rate and one of their tricks was to always include partners from small/poor European countries, because EU wanted to help these countries. So for a while, we had a bunch of projects with greek partners, even if they didn't bring much to the table from a project perspective. I hope this genuinely helped them.

You reaction is typical of small, rich nordic countries unfortunately.


How about lower taxes and no need for full time proposal writers? EU literally cannot see small companies, and I'm not even talking about that stupid preferred values wheel. Projects being evaluated on merits? Nah, let's fund things because they have a gender balanced team (look it up, I'm not kidding).


Yes, if be very surprised if it wasn't built on top of Blink.

It reminds me of a Mac program that a work colleague used, Devon Agent, that consumed the web content that he browsed and indexed it along with local content.

There also used to be a functionally simpler Recoll plugin for Firefox that indexed web text. I really should look to see if that has migrated into the new plugins model.


With limitations imposed on extensions it may be hard. Also, developing an extension makes you dependant on browser developers. Thing that many felt badly during last years. So it sounds reasonable to create own browser. It is great it is possible, while it is unfortunately sad also that you have to do it that way.


It should be one, but you can't raise money as easily by pitching an extension.

I also doubt that the state of the art of ML can achieve his vision of taking meaningful notes from websites.


One that already existed at some point: StumbleUpon.
