The only way to make privacy happen is if it’s dead simple, works out of box, and not only doesn’t regresses your experience, but meaningfully enhances it. I’ve failed to see projects that would do that so far, and same here - it adds extra complexity for end user, with no tangible benefits to the experience.
That in the end the platform have to provide a better experience to the end user and also give more power/flexibility to the developer, otherwise no one will use it.
That's the reason i think it requires a lot more work to make this feasible. Only "iterational innovation" wont do it.
I hope that what i'm almost about to launch here, might reach those goals.
do you know about the safe network? that seems relatively easy. the way its being designed is that you will have to log-in to access the network (which does add complexity compared to now) but the idea will be that you can sign up for websites and services using your log in ID. so you dont have to share your name or email address and there will be no need for a service to store your password
However, I completely agree with the second paragraph.
Dramatic and exaggerated hyperboles only help to turn conversation into flame wars.
The removal of that feature certainly wasn't accidental.
