Just as Netscape Communicator was forked and decrapified to make Firefox, I'd love to see a decrapified fork of Firefox right about now.

But browsers now are delivering app functionality, and so they're going to be huge. We need something like "Contrast rebellion", but for page sizes. There's no reason WSJ / NYT / Atlantic / etc pages are so freaking huge - almost always that cruft is getting in the way of me reading the content. (And if they're reading this: that cruft means I am less likely to pay for a subscription. "I open a page, it loads quickly, I read it" is a nice experience. "I open a page. I get a throbber. Some content loads. It jumps around as other placeholders load. Content pops in and out and under different banners and boxes. It jumps around as fonts are loaded. Eventually, everything is ready." Thats what I normally get and it sucks.
