The article addresses the Bad Parts which are all browser side. The browsers suck. The web is fine. What we need are more powerful browsers that can be programmed by websites to act like native apps. Security can be handled through curation. What Mozilla (or a new browser startup) should do: Enable a new type of "extension". This extension is pre-approved and pre-checked for malware. This extension lives on the Mozilla cdn and is only downloadable from there. This extension is automatically installed on a site-specific basis with no user visible UI. This extension is powerful enough to control the browser and make it resemble a native app. When a user goes to the website it'll automatically just work just like the native app.
