or even just a "web browser mode" vs "multimedia gateway mode." the techwizardry demands of heavy hitters like YouTube and Facebook have created an "attack surface" that forces active and constantly evolving opt out behavior. the web is actively hostile towards the lay browser (person who browses.) a million notifications to allow and enable things on first visit to a site is a terrible experience. sane defaults should disallow these apis on most popular properties. furthermore, I personally wouldnt mind a split between the browser and a communicator. a separate webrtc phonelike app that handles all teleconferencing. i get why people dont want a native app installed for each voip solution, but a single tool that is cross compatible, pushed out of the "web browser" would make web browsers safer. the average person is using a web browser to look at celebrity news, pictures, youtube videos. delivering those things efficiently doesnt need to be much more complicated than the web was 10 years ago. having a separate button to launch "3d game rendering mode" would be preferable to every site on the web abusing the tech behind the scenes to deliver targeted ads.
