This is where an OS-based agent would help. If it semantically understood the tasks we're trying to accomplish, it could filter the cases we care about.

I'm even more excited about browser or OS agents being able to unilaterally scrub the web of all advertisements, spam, polarized toxicity, etc. Forget adblock - I can effectively block all the bad things Google, Meta, Twitter, etc. do and their army of PMs won't be able to stop me.

This tech is going to rip the advertiser and algorithmic madness out of the internet and make it serve me and only me.

neither Apple or Google will ever develop this given that their core Business depends on users using their phones often

In what way does apple depend on users using their phones often? I am also hoping somebody would develop helpful agents like gp suggests

Apple takes a 30% cut? If gamers stop playing addictive games with microtransactions then they would lose quite a bit. Same with showing ads. Or everything else in their software section of revenue
