I've long wished for built-in browser functionality that converts times to the user's preferred time zone, with perhaps a dotted outline indicating that a change was made by the browser to the page.

I’d always hoped this is what HTML’s time tag would become. Unfortunately it does almost nothing.

same with gps - the user should deside how to open direction / location links.

This is worth proposing. A tag where fallback text is provided within which can be overridden by the browser with a formatted date string would be excellent.

It exists: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ti...

As a nearby comment indicates, it's not clear any browser makes use of it.

Yeah, but, I mean, the least you could do is to say UTC-7. I'm sure everybody living in PDT knows it's, well, their time, but how the fuck should everyone else know what time PDT is.

Also, some timezone labels are ambiguous, e.g. "CST".
