My dream browser would completely separate the UI from the engine. I would specify a UI plugin from the command line, and if I didn't like it, or the provider started working against my interests, I could specify or create a different one.
It'd be cool if the browser engine took commands over unix sockets or other IPC mechanism instead of being intimately melded at all with any UI.
The Uzbl browser was very close to this I believe; it used Webkit.
Would it be that hard to do that with the Firefox codebase? Firefox already has to work under multiple operating systems so some of the plumbing ought to be there.
