I am perpetually irritated with the internet and the browser. I have no desire to chase taming it using any method, other than my current use of vm's where many instances are misleading temporary honey pots.
Probing things I can see where an innocent hover, a sweep of the cursor, a pause where I leave the page up and the cursor wherever and I'm not even here = these actions can create hundreds of cache files and many megabits, all BS.
I had an idea. On touch tablet style devices there is no cursor position at times. I wonder if on a classic pointer interface with a constant pointer always existing, is there a way to toggle down/lift and mimic a touch interface? The cursor would have visible positioning when 'lifted'.
Toggled on 'lift' the cursor would be invisible to the underlying contents as if your not touching anything and there would be no hover actions specifically, and no interaction at all generally. Then toggle 'down' as if touching and now the cursor is visible to the underlying content.
This might have jumped to the top of my wish list.
Somewhat related is a 'bug' I ignore that many may never see. If one uses multiple screens with multiple sources using vnc and x2x or mouse anywhere type software I find the cursor position info often 'bleeds' back to the host screen and activates a hover, the 'host' has the physical connection. This leads me to think my wish is impossible since a similar technique would already exist to prevent that bleed.
Thinking out loud.
