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.

Someone is also working on GNUstep integration for this browser:

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.
