Kill the browser. Seriously, the way it's heading, it's turning into a sandbox for applications. So, let's stop pretending and go all the way - get rid of the browser, keep the sandboxed execution.
It would be great if that could be done along with the removal of all the hacks that showed up while the browser was still a document viewer, but that's not likely.
- prodigal_erik 15y agoPlease no. The web has vastly more utility than version 2.0 of client/server hell, with its entombed content that's only accessible through exactly one brain-damaged app which you can't improve. If javascript devours the web, it will be the second greatest disaster of our industry (second only to walled gardens devouring open tools).
- ori_b 15y agoToo late. It's already trying to solve two problems, and doing it poorly. I'd like to see the two problems (application platform, interlinked document platform) split cleanly.
- snorkel 15y agoThen how would you browse?
- JoshTriplett 15y agoNo way. The browser still puts the user in control, not the site; let's not replace it with any sandbox that lacks that design constraint.
