Running commentary:

As for #1. Enhance Trust in small businesses: that sounds interesting and probably useful, but I think it should be extended to allow trust links from institutions other than governments. It should be configurable in the browser which organisations the user trusts (which may or may not include their government).

As for #2. Help stand out: it's starting to feel a bit authoritarian and sinister now.
>Having official information readily available in the browser showing the domain of expertise of the company or institution behind a web site would hugely increase our ability to work together on urgent problems.
Why? Knowledge is something that comes from the real world, filtered through each individual's sense organs and brain, not officially deemed "Legitimate Institutions of Knowledge".
A lot of these ideas of yours involve an enhanced role for the state, which I don't like.
>This is made all the more problematic as widely available machine translation technologies are exposing people to web sites published in regions they know little of.
I don't understand why that would make a difference.

As for #3. Make Fake News Web sites stand out: this one is really sinister. Who defines "fake news"?

The great thing about the internet is that it is (relatively) anarchic, and should be made more so, not less.
You can fuck right off with your knowledge gatekeeping bullshit.
