Ah yes. Back to the days of Netscape Communicator or AOL.
You can experience this in its modern form (on a Mac or PC) with SeaMonkey or Vivaldi. Arguably Chrome + Sign-in to your Google Account + Gmail and Google Drive would get you there too, although I would never actually sign into Chrome to test that theory.
- amadeuspagel 4y agoNo, I think you misunderstand me. I don't just mean that the browser contains an email client. I'm replying to a comment pointing out that the browser doesn't support identity and contacts. Email has that and it's an open protocol. To give you a very narrow example of what it might mean to integrate email into the browser better: Right now, even subscribing to a newsletter is kind of annoying. Type in your email, verify an email you get. If it was integrated better, it might be one click.

Apple seems to be moving directionally towards something that could be an equal to that experience with Passkeys[1] which I’m personally ambivalent about and want to see what problems crop up first before I trust it. I at least want to see reliable passkey migration first since Microsoft and Google are apparently on board too[2].
