> Children will just lie

Not if the parents are setting it up beforehand (like with small children) then their iaccount or Google account will be under parental controls from that point on.

It seems reasonable that if a parent enables their child to visit sites after that, then that's just their prerogative (like giving your kid beer)

I wonder who's in common there?

They obviously get the ideas from the same sources. Somewhere they don't invite ordinary people to like Davos or other conferences.

Could just be monkey see monkey do.

Then it is monkey see, monkey do the same/similar policies on smoking control, LEZ, digital ID, children's education, red meat and fish consumption, alcohol consumption, women's rights and a whole host of other things.

Some of these are good causes, some not so much. Some of them rely on an excluded middle.

Are you suggesting there's some shadowy cabal responsible for getting women the right to vote?

You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge.

At the same time? I don't think so. Almost everyone talks to each other and takes notes. We know they do. The World Economic Forum is real and has a website you can access. They talk about policies like this under their "Fourth Industrial Revolution" section and don't even hide it. The same policies are repeated across much of the world on everything from smoking to driving to digital ID, regardless of who gets voted in.

It’s the political equivalent of a TikTok trend.

You see others doing it and think it’s a good idea, so you do it too.

wow these shitty comments/people blaming the victim for not taking more precaution are everywhere

I'm pretty sure most people would see Toms point as valid?

If Bob made a huge deal about company's abuse of fluffy animal and never otherwise talked about fluffy animal, that would seen as inauthentic

That was created by AI. Ai is great at playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon

Enjoying a succulent meal, I guess

Nobody needs to be hard on the internet

Just use Tor browser? You can turn the tor part off if you need the speed.

What you want exists, have at it

As the submission shows, Tor browser isn't enough. My hypothetical browser would never have an IndexedDB API. Why should it?

"Web applications use it for offline support, caching, session state, and other local storage needs"

This use case is completely orthogonal to what my browser is meant to do. My browser would not have a concept of local storage.

The premise of starting with a modern browser and stripping away features to get privacy is flawed - it's always vulnerable to these types of things. I'm going the opposite route: Only add features if they cannot be exploited for monitoring.

Sounds like you need a cyberdeck
