PM working on Private Browsing mode here. Watching pornography is not the reason why the new Private Browsing mode was created. The goal is to provide an Private Mode than can be used for Christmas shopping. ;)

In all seriousness, despite intentions, and I do love headless mode for actual integration tests with Webdriver, it’s no exaggeration to say that it is likely the single greatest avenue for bots and spam enablement across the entire internet, and imo is probably net Bad.

If it weren't for bots there would be no search engines, no internet archive, no WWW. Bots, and the tools for making them, are essential to the functioning of the web.

It seems more neutral to me. Yes there's a lot of spam and other types of malicious behavior, but I don't think it's good overall to try to eliminate web automation entirely to stop it.

A necessary evil for supporting an open and programmable internet (IMO).
