Seven million users have spyware in their browser and don't even know it.

Strengths
  • •Network traffic analysis provides hard evidence of exfiltration, not just policy speculation.
  • •Distinguishes between confirmed scraping and capability, showing deep technical understanding.
  • •Naming specific offenders like Stylish and Poper Blocker forces immediate accountability.
Weaknesses
  • •Blog post format limits immediate remediation; needs a companion detector extension.
  • •Relies on manual traffic analysis which doesn't scale to the full Chrome Web Store.

Million Dollar Chat

It turns the Million Dollar Homepage gag into a living, navigable AI memory — one million characters you can search, jump to, and watch other users type into in real time. The interface leans into the grid nostalgia while adding useful tooling (position navigation, contextual search, live cursors) and an honest back end choice (characters over tokens) that makes the experiment easier to reason about. It’s playful and shareable rather than utility-first, but that's the point — clever social engineering plus real-time tech.
