I was expecting a wasm browser inside the browser. I'm sure you could do something really rather sophisticated with that. No idea what though.

- Capira 5y agomaybe fix dns?
- EvanAnderson 5y agoThat's coming. It will be used to deliver un-blockable ads, though.
- semitones 5y agoSad, but likely.
- rzzzt 5y agoThere's a project which adds a second location bar in the viewport for older browsers (going back to IE 5-ish days, I think), then lets you browse modern websites with it by rendering them headless and only sending over image maps. It was also featured on HN back in the day. I was thinking that with a WASM port of a browser engine you could do the rendering on the client side as well, but you'd have to use a host modern enough to run WASM in the first place so... not a great idea on my part
