> I think supporting such a small feature-set of the web is basically rolling back the clock. This is putting people back in the Web 1.0 days, although with a browser built using more modern tools. Even with performance in mind, you might achieve better performance with a closer-to-the-metal language than JS. The goal is not to support the whole web experience, just the news reading / information seeking part. Recently, more and more site are getting into the way of the content by adding distraction that can break your flow when you try to inform yourself. Did your eyes never get attracted by a Taboola 'Read more story here' or a buzzfeed '10 most productive trick for programers' link when you was reading some news? As for JS, I choose it so I can prototype fast, I optimise implementation time vs performance (it take me a couple of hours vs ??? if I have try to do that in C for examples). > I don't think the world needs a more minimalistic browser, we've already been down that road in the past, but rather a more minimalistic coding system for webpages in general. I agree with you, CSS/HTML/DOM is a pain, but it seems to be the best we have today. I prefer wrote some interface using them than Qt, X or SDL.
