@arjen I don't think my concern about the technology is the chain of custody for the data. I don't want the data to be collected by my browser, and I don't want the people receiving the data to receive it. How hackable the part in between is is, uh, I guess important, but to my mind it is more important to eliminate the technology completely in every single form it exists in.
@mcc I understand, but then you take the position that you will not contribute to the way internet services (including the browser software) are paid for right now. That's a perfectly fine position; not sure how that will work out over the long run, should we all do that; i.e., if people can still produce these services. We will see.
