Maybe that's by design? The browser (at least major ones) can be easily extended the way the user wants; if they want something which helps them not get distracted, there's an extension for that (like the one which blocked the FB newsfeed). There are other extensions to remember URLs, and search is better than ever if you are opting to save your browser history.
Also, if you say you're fundamentally changing the browser, at least mention how? What are your core ideas of the redesign, apart from a few random and vague use cases? Without that, the site is just a pretty placeholder.

The experience you mention is _definitely_ not the same I would trust in building a new brower, except perhaps DDG. The last thing I want is people from FB/Amazon/Snap telling my how my browser should behave.
