Because browsers and their operators, like any other industry, over time morph to a shareholder driven mess that needs to constantly be integrating with feature/product X.

If the same operator also controls the entire adspace in the web, and has significant impact/input on other connected media devices beyond webbrowsers, what incentive do they have to empower users to "ignore" content, be it ads, ai slop, bad UI? Ther's literally none, the number still goes up revenue wise.

Unavoidable content delivery attached to revenue generation is the present and the future and the only solution is disonnected services/products that aren't tied to dollars.



Still, it’s sad we’re in this timeline.
