Get rid of all the privacy leaking stuff.<p>No more user-agent, no reporting of available fonts, screen size, whatever. The browser needs to be a black box as seen from the server.<p>At the moment every browser on the web is just about uniquely identifiable. You can check this for yourself at the site of EFF: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coveryourtracks.eff.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coveryourtracks.eff.org</a><p>This has to stop.

Block ads&#x2F;trackers by default.<p>Zero-telemetry by default.<p>Support as many web standards&#x2F;protocols.<p>Native UI controls on the host OS.
