I used to run it on a laptop too, but the battery life was shorter and the laptop ran noticeably hotter than under Linux, so I eventually switched back.

That said, OpenBSD feels unusually coherent (ej. check wifi connection from terminal). The whole system has a level of consistency that's hard to find elsewhere, also between other BSDs.

For pet servers, it usually fits perfect.

Totally agree, Vis really hits an spot between modern feel without losing what made vi great. The structural regex is a game-changer.

Yes, "everything is a file" but the mouse on Rio is written in stone.

Aside of that, plan9 wins on the theoretical side, it was a research OS, but in the practical one... it's opinionated.

I reply myself because I've found that idea already porposed:

"Origin policy was a proposal for a web platform mechanism that allows origins to set their origin-wide configuration in a central location, instead of using per-response HTTP headers." - https://github.com/WICG/origin-policy

But their status is "[On hold for now]" since, at least, three years ago.

The reference of robots.txt offer a good way to define specific behavior for the whole domain, as example. Something like that for security could be enough for large amount of websites.

Also, a new header like “sec-policy: foo-url” may be a clean way to move away that definitions from the app+web+proxy+cdn mesh to a fixed clear point.

Adding more security headers every year feels like strapping seatbelts onto a collapsing roller coaster. It would be better to stop this "sec headers stack" in favour of simpler, secure by default browser primitives with explicit opt-out. Getting an example from https://securityheaders.com the list nowadays is as follows:

- Strict-Transport-Security - Content-Security-Policy - X-Frame-Options - X-Content-Type-Options - Referrer-Policy - Permissions-Policy - Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy - Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy - Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
