fuck a browser extension. one of the reasons why im banking on steem vs ETH is because you don't need a special browser to connect to the network.
A browser extension is a better idea than a new browser but thats still not optimal. I really believe that we just need to abandon steemit, and look at the greater scope of things.
My vote goes for a new interface. Im looking at the future of steem as an ecosystem of DAOs utilizing SMTs and their own interface for both functionality and exchange tradability
