IMO, the browser development community has sold out to
the interests
of commercial trackers and data collectors.
I don't think "selling" was the usurpation method. IMO, big money interests
found
hungry developers they could salary to assimilate into the management sections of
development communities to convert the former "user agents" aka web browsers
into
advertisers' agents and data collectors that are in a near perpetual state of
bloat growth.
