Remember when web browsers were independent of advertisers, and when web pages implemented po-up adds, web browsers responded with pop-up blockers?

I'll be convinced web browsers have regained their independence when they start including blockers for modal interfaces, which have replaced the pop-up as the preferred method of hijacking the user's attention.

This reminds me of how Blink (used by Chromium browsers) started - as Konqueror, the web browser of the KDE desktop used by a lot of Linux distributions.

(Yes there is some Apple webkit in between)

Will it support plugins/extension?

I can do without all of my other security, anti-malware and anti-spyware add-ins. Those are all deeply secondary.

But if uBlock Origin doesn’t have first-class support when this browser becomes available… yeah.

They don’t even need to have a plugin interface ready, so long as the plugin guts are there and uBlock has been whitelisted for manual (drop directly into the profile filesystem) installation.

Someone is also working on GNUstep integration for this browser:
