browser governance

About this tag
Browser governance refers to the policies and controls that determine how a web browser manages features, privacy, and user choice.

The topic reflects broader debates about browser makers balancing innovation with user autonomy, particularly as browsers evolve into platforms for AI-assisted workflows. These governance decisions impact privacy, security, and the overall browsing experience on Windows systems.
