browser was never designed as the platform the run full-featured applications Does that mean they shouldn't ever change to become a platform for full-feature applications? Is there a reason why browsers shouldn't evolve and grow and add new capabilities? We don't believe that operating systems should be static once they've been released, or that applications should never add new features that enable them to run scripts or plugins. What's wrong with browsers doing more than Tim Berners-Lee envisioned 30 years ago? Sure, browsers were once designed to view docs. Now they do more. That's a good thing even if it throws up some design, UX, and security challenges.
