Does the multi-browser use model successfully negate the need for browser add-ons?
What does a common browser add-on that you actually feel you need, do that
you can't find a browser to do if you limited that browser to one type of web site? (Treating add-ons, extensions, and plugins the same...) With browser extensions in the news, I point out that I don't use them (except where they are incorporated, natively, into the browser use model, such as is the case with the Tor Browser Bundle). Instead, I simply set up any one browser (of which there are more than a dozen to choose from), to work perfectly with one site or type of sites or set of sites (my choice, depending on the type of sites). In addition, of course, I have a common MVP Hosts file (or equivalent) ad blocker on all my machines. I posit that this use model goes a long way, (perhaps not fully?), toward eliminating the need for browser extensions, where this post is an attempt to clarify if that multi-browser use model is viable as a general-use model. Hence, I ask the thought-provoking question of...
