> If a website is completely malleable to the point that the data it holds can be re-shaped into something else, then you can almost see a website as an application programming interface (API).

> A future where websites are combined into local frankensteins, only pulling the data it needs and combines it on a new website that does not exist.

This is exactly what I want to see. I've been toying around with similar ideas myself but prompting GPT-n with your instructions will make this extremely accessible. Browser configurability will be crucial, but we seem to be doing pretty well in that regard. Rare moment of optimism. Thanks for posting.


I want to see that too. This is a chance for browser to truly become an user agent, not only a tool for displaying documents (and ads).
I just want a browser extension that not only lets you create little css snippets for sites you browse, but also see the most popular snippets shared by other users. Maybe an up/downvote system too
I'm certain there was a plugin for Firefox that did just that, I don't remember the name, though. Greasemonkey definitely worked that way.
