I agree with most of this.
> Easy privacy/identity management per app.
Now that Passkeys are a thing, browsers could theoretically create an anonymous, ephemeral account for you automatically on any site that requests that. Or alternately/additionally, maybe a "synced localstorage" feature could reduce or eliminate the need to have accounts for many cases.
> Easy payment processing builtin to browser.
This already exists on mobile and works quite well, though desktop support is a bit lacking. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Payment_Request_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Payment_Req...
> Easy social that spans apps that we fully control
User-friendly decentralized social media is an unsolved problem. Maybe if Mastodon or Nostr or Matrix ever overcomes those challenges and starts to take off browsers can start integrating support.
