Okay, then don't expect anybody to build one. Web browsers are incredibly complex, and nobody is going to build one for free nowadays.



Wait a minute, did I misunderstand? I thought we were talking about how websites would make money, not build browsers. Are you saying that Apple, who doesn’t depend on web advertising AFAICT, wouldn’t build this hypothetical browser because other companies wouldn’t make money? A more macro economic view, then?


>Web browsers are incredibly complex

This is the problem. A much less complex browser, without wasm, without JavaScript, with a simpler DOM... would not be that incredibly complex and expensive to build. So the point is moot.


That's only yet another reason to try and spin off a more user-friendly web, and burn the current thing to the ground.
