You might also like i3. I tried many tiling window managers, and i3 is my favorite. Its "manual tiling" works well with my brain.

The Internet is the web, and the web is Google. That's how it is for the vast majority of nontechnical users. It's a sad state of affairs.
Hiding the URL is a natural step on the way to total TV-fication of the web.
People search for "facebook" on Google in order to log on to Facebook because it works, and they are not interested in learning a more efficient way, because they are not interested in learning anything, they want to go to Facebook.
URLs look like math formulas, and who cares about that except some geeks? Math is hard, let's go shopping.
This is nice. Some years ago, I used a site called "bestbookdeal" that did pretty much the same thing.
One improvement that I would very much like to see is the ability to search for a set of books at once.
Book Depository used to have, for some books, much better deals than Amazon. Then it got bought by Amazon, and prices are pretty much equivalent now.
Do you mean that when average users use a web site, they intend to be tracked?
The setting has to be either on or off by default. I think that most users, if asked, would like for it to be off. The only reason to leave it to "on" involves advertising doublethink, a.k.a. bullshit.
