> Sort of like having to take of your shoes when you board a plane. If that’s what it takes, isn’t it just better to stay home?

Removal of shoes, 'naked' full body scanners, these are all terrible, and I tell myself every time it isn't worth the hassle.

The reality is that as much as I hate it, I'm still flying every other week.

I'm also on the Internet daily. I don't see that changing.

Honestly what is the point of user-agent at all if it needs to be set to some changing, magical incantation in order for a browser (or any other agent) to be functional?

I hate the direction the internet and tech is going, and I hate even more that I'm seemingly powerless to do anything about it

for me it did change. I stopped flying and I stopped visiting websites which won't accept my tracking blockers.

You need it for work. Meanwhile, TSA has caused more overall economic damage than the 9/11 plane crashes.
