I wonder if "browser" is even the right paradigm anymore.
HTML, hypertext, in the 1990's, it was so elegant as long as you were doing only a GET.
As soon as you get into dynamic content, the whole thing gets ugly fast.
Not to mention users who now expect a "rich web experience"
There's got to be a way to bring elegance back.
