How might a browser be developed?
There’s a confluence of things that have happened recently that have made me question how browsers might be developed: On January 8th 2026, Simon Willison predicted that someone will build a browser using mainly AI-assisted tools within 3 years On January 27th 2026, one human and one agent built a browser from scratch (great experiments) On the 19th February 2026, news came out that Taalas had a chip that can spit out nearly 17,000 tokens per second by baking a model onto the chip. I would like to indulge in a little bit of projection and in my case, some science fiction of my own.

Digital Sovereignty

Digital Sovereignty
Digital sovereignty has a bad reputation. In internet governance circles, sovereignty is considered awkward enough to be referred to by as the "s-word." It is often associated with misguided attempts at returning to the era of national champions, like building a French search engine or a European Google, or worse with the eternal boogeyman that is the "splinternet." It doesn't have to be this way!
