Google Probably the most often requested feature for Google's Chrome web browser was an extensions framework so that users can expand the functionality of Chrome in the same way people currently do for Firefox. Chrome has had an extensions framework for a while now, but it was turned off by default. They've now turned it on by default on the dev channel.

Not least that under fair use the bits and bytes that arrive at my computer are mine to interpret and render how I damn well please. There is no legal precedent that a browser *must* render a site in a particular way.


Or even that one might want to choose which bits even arrive at their computer. Adblock simply doesn't download content from URLs that match a given regex... I think that's pretty fair. If I don't want to receive content containning "doubleclick.net" or otherwise in the URL, I think that's my perogative. Everyone who claims otherwise can go to hell, it's my computer, my internet connection, and not my problem if the content providers rely on such a flaky and easily avoided mechanism to deliver their advertisements.
