Across the internet, users rely on browsers and extensions to shape how they experience the web: to protect their privacy, improve accessibility, block harmful or intrusive content, and take control over what they see.

      I’m sure it has nothing to do with all the contaminants in our bodies, right? What’s a few grams of plastic coupled with PFAS and who knows what else?

      Also, it turns out high heat makes us dumber so look forward to some even more aggressive stupidity in the future!
