You need around 70mb of sheer complexity to render a page fully correct and you need millions of dollars to build a competitor that would lose because level of complexity is increasing daily .By the time you cover what you thought the web was ,the most used browser chrome had already came up with more complexity to add to the web.Web sucks and this helps the monopoly.
- snaky 8y agoWhat if some browser would exist that could render only 90% of pages fully correct, but would be twice as fast as Chrome and use 30% of memory?
- eveningsteps 8y agoYou mean, Internet Explorer?
- snaky 8y ago> twice as fast I doubt it.
- SUr3na 8y agoI would use it and recommend it to people I know, as I already do. But how about no browser at all? How about I use my own video player to watch a file I received over network? We have essentially operating systems(web browsers) with pipelines, processes and sandboxing just to be completely ignored by websites which instead shove a message "install our app" down our throat.
- wmeredith 8y agoYou just described my user experience with Brave.
- pcwalton 8y agoImpossible. Look at what your memory usage in a browser goes to (about:memory). Most of it is DOM/JS, images, media, etc.: things that are used by well over 90% of pages.
- themacguffinman 8y agoI think Safari fits that mold pretty well. It often trades features for simplicity and resource efficiency.
