Somewhere along the way, we internalized a notion that pixels in email are “spying”, but scripts on websites are OK. The walls are starting to go up on “spy pixels.”
Do you think there won’t be a similar mindset shift around web browsers, which are inherently far more invasive? (Browser: Javascript; email: dumb.)
Imagine the impact if hyperlink clicks always launch an isolated browser session on a cloud-based VM. Every click would spin up a new, history-free machine with no location, no cookies, no history, no meaningful user-agent, and so on. Every visit, every visitor = blank slate & start over.
