> Browsers are designed to be the end user's self-service toolkit to combat our bad websites. Users can override fonts, mute sounds, enlarge text, pinch-zoom in, open images in a separate tab, copy-and-paste, autofill rote form inputs, switch to "simplified reading mode", search for the same information elsewhere, reload the page to reset Javascript bugs, and even try a different browser to see if they happen to have the one on their computer that we bothered to test.

To be fair, part of this is that a "good website" for a web developer is often a "bad website" for a user. Giving users the ability to work around bad websites is good for users and if this makes "good experiences" hard to write, I think its a small price to pay. So much of web development is finding ways to combat the users (to track them, show them ads, prevent them from using the site how they want). I think web browsers should keep providing features for users to fight back rather than simply being tools of web developers.
