Yes, Thats a great idea, I should stop using such a shitty browser. Tell me a browser which automatically can read my mind on all the DIFFERENT computers I use. Oh, there isnt one.
Great idea to make a problem out of something that isnt a problem, it should be opt-in, its the lesser bother.

Still, if there was a filter like this to be deployed, it most definitely should be OFF by default. None of this nonsense like with Google image search having to take the filter off every single time searching for something.

This is true, social interaction IRL costs money, if you have depression you are unfortunately quite likely poor as well, which also means you dont have the money to do IRL activities which means you get more depressed and even more confined in your own room with the cheap computer activity.

We'll see whether it is completely reasonable when EU gives some more fines for Microsoft for trying to kill competition as it has done before in these browser questions.
Submission + - CO2-eating light developed that runs on algae (geek.com) 3
An anonymous reader writes: Biochemist Pierre Calleja has a solution to reducing carbon emissions that doesn't require us to cut back on our use of carbon-producing devices. Calleja has developed a lighting system that requires no electricity for power. Instead it draws CO2 from the atmosphere and uses it to produce light as well as oxygen as a byproduct. The key ingredient to this eco-friendly light? Algae.
Certain types of algae can feed off of organic carbon as well as sunlight, and in the process produce carbohydrate energy for themselves as well as oxygen as a waste product. Cajella’s lamps consist of algae-filled water along with a light and battery system. During the day the algae produce energy from sunlight that is then stored in the batteries. Then at night the energy is used to power the light. However, as the algae can also produce energy from carbon, sunlight isn’t required for the process to work. That means such lights can be placed where there is no natural light and the air will effectively be cleaned on a daily basis.

VERMILYEA writes: "Stanford researcher Jonathan Mayer published a study that found that Google and three other companies, Vibrant Media Inc., WPP PLC’s Media Innovation Group LLC and Gannett Co.’s PointRoll Inc., were circumventing Apple’s Safari browser’s privacy setting and placing unwanted ad tracking cookies on unsuspecting users computers. The Wall Street Journal did their own independent confirmation of the Stanford research that “found that ads on 22 of the top 100 websites installed the Google tracking code on a test computer, and ads on 23 sites installed it on an iPhone browser.” On the basis of the report, the FTC opened its investigation."
