Remember when web browsers were independent of advertisers, and when web pages implemented po-up adds, web browsers responded with pop-up blockers?

I'll be convinced web browsers have regained their independence when they start including blockers for modal interfaces, which have replaced the pop-up as the preferred method of hijacking the user's attention.

Will it support plugins/extension?

This reminds me of how Blink (used by Chromium browsers) started - as Konqueror, the web browser of the KDE desktop used by a lot of Linux distributions.

(Yes there is some Apple webkit in between)
