Maybe there is a market for a proxy that converts any page you visit to bare and functional HTML with just content and navigation. No ad's, distractions, disfunctional scrolling, etc.
Wrap it up with an easy to install bow and easy self updating to keep up with sites (and easy fallback to original sites/links), and I'll never browse the mainstream sites again. There are a couple of things that do this, but none as well as I'd like to see.
Fetching data from such websites is the only thing so far where I've found ES async generators very very useful.
You don't even need a browser. Most of the time simple HTTP requests from node work just fine, and makes tor use safer and more effective since you're not running any foregin JS code, just parsing data. Other thing that improves privacy is that you're downloading everything, so it's hard to see from the service's side what you're actually consuming.
Actually many usual services follow this pattern. List of accounts->list of transactions->transaction details. List of categories->list of articles->article detail. List of product categories->list of products->product detail.
Simple abstraction can get you very far, even with a fairly simple DB schema.
I’m not sure if it can also enable individual scripts, that might become necessary very soon if this article is an example of what is coming.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxomitron and other MITM-proxies can do that and more, although the security-paranoid may disapprove (but then again --- what are you more concerned about, what is your threat model, etc.) The recent "security vulturism" and things like DoH and other anti-user ostensibly-privacy things certainly doesn't help.
