By web browser I didn't necessarily mean Chrome. I mean a browser completely re-implemented in the new system, preferably a "live" system of "objects". I realize it's a tall order. But it would solve your issue with network applications, because people could just rip out the objects used the browser and use them elsewhere as they go. As more people adopt this system, they would forget about the browser altogether, since the objects themselves can communicate remotely. In essence: the web browser part would be for adoption, but the system can be so good that it eventually becomes obsolete. > why bother for a research project? We'll never get anything new if we don't. Linux and containers are band-aids. They are not original solutions. We shouldn't be squeamish about re-implementing everything from the ground up. The big problems in personal computing have not yet been solved. If anything, we've been regressing — in the wrong way.
