Opera set itself as the default web browser after install on W10.
That's quite aggressive.

#152I personally feel that browsers are headed entirely in the wrong direction - "one thing well" no longer applies in this space. Does anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight browser, if such a thing even exists anymore? Perhaps Chromium + Scriptsafe + uBlock is what I need, but ultimately I want is a tabbed browser without a load of unnecessary features bundled in. For example; there is no way I would trust t…
https://suckless.org/ offers their WebKit web browser surf. For tabs, use it with their tabbing frontend, suitably named tabbed.
It was a little barebones for me when I tried it some years back but it might be what you are looking for.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology has no use whatsoever. It's all made up with fictionary scenarios where any already existing and well-established technology would do just as good or even better. Don't put that snake oil in my browser, please. Thanks.
Cryptocurrencies have all kinds of uses, people actually use them. From countries with hyperinflation, to ridiculous civil forfeiture, to PayPal freezing large amounts for no reason. And it's my favorite method of payment, so easy. So don't speak for everyone.
What's the Bitcoin adaptation rate in Venezuela?

How is that possible? Win10 should require manual confirm for that

That isn't at all the same problem: Netflix is trying to block being accessed by a VPN, while China/Russia/etc. want to block users from talking to a VPN.
How do you block "talking" to a VPN?
You will start with blocking their websites. Then you might want to reverse-engineer it just a little bit (for example to find out which domains they connect to) and block those domains. Usually that's enough to block most of people from using it.

#156I don't like the term Web3 and I think a lot of people using the it are basically pushing snake oil. However, I really like the idea of eventually having client-side decrypted data, and censorship-resistant "torrent-like" distributed content. Whether cryptocurrencies must play a role in this or not remains to be seen.

You are equating crypto with payment but it's really moved on from that. The blockchain space really about competing with Ethereum to provide a decentralised platform for applications - what some people term as web3.
I was not aware web 3.0 is a thing yet. Is there any "killer" web 3.0 app? From what I've seen most are small crypto currency apps or web 2.0 apps with a crypto payment/token component. Is IPFS considered Web 3.0 as well?
The biggest killer web 3.0 dapp right now is something generally refered to as DeFi (Decentrilized Finance). There are several dapps that make up defi, including MakerDAO, Compound, Uniswap, Dharma, dydx to name a few.

Because the current web is such perfection?

I use crypto dapps almost everyday, but apparently that's a figment of my imagination.

3.0.5274a-rc99, haven't you been getting the release notes?;) (But seriously, it's like HTML5; there probably won't really be another major version ever, just new things built on top of the existing schema)
I must also have missed 1.0 and 2.0 too then
1.0 was the static web, 2.0 is basically HTML+JS+css, 3.0 includes a value exchange protocol layer.
