Each tab runs in its own thread, a page consumes CPU and RAM. I'm not sure why it's a bad thing that a web browser has a task manager. Especially since one of the powerful things about the web is that no extra software is required for debugging / development. It's totally possible today to create a filter that will scan for JS and remove it from sites with one of those man-in-the-middle corporate proxies. But it'll break pretty much every site. If you're talking about a company, that's as conductive to security as mandating weekly password changes requiring no repetition, symbols, lower + upper case and 15 characters. Users will find ways around it. Like bringing unmanaged devices to browse the internet. In terms of broken websites, corporate users don't have the influence as they did in years past. Since we're trending towards pretty much every person in more economically developed countries having smart phones. If a website doesn't work for a business's users I don't see how site owners will care. On the development of web browsers becoming an OS of their own. Sure there's work to be done to improve security. For example, fingerprinting needs to be properly mitigated [1]. The web is open. Anyone can implement a web browser. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge are trending towards writing one webpage/app and having it run everywhere. Windows, OSX, Linux, Intel, ARM, Desktop/Laptop, Mobile/Tablet. Aren't a concern past display/formatting. [1] https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/
