Even better, can we all finally make a concerted effort and make a new browser better than Chrome and Firefox?
We only let the net get jizzed on because we allow it to be.
If Serenity can do it, imagine if all those who push repos to github collaborating together and actually making an open source project for all and everyone.
A lack of desire to implement technologies that are harmful to the Web; specifically technologies designed to usurp control from the user and/or its agent.
Remove Javascript and 90% of your challenges go away.
Remove HTML/CSS rendering and the other 10% of the challenges go away too. Skip the whole “browser" thing and just use `curl`. Zero harmful technologies, maximum user control - I’m sure all of the users will be flocking to this new approach in no time :D
Agree. Plus OP may be severely underestimating the complexity and expense related to developing a new fully featured browser. JavaScript engine, CSS rendering engine, supports for dozens of additional add-ons like WebGL, sandboxing, WASM etc. Microsoft is a case study on this given their attempt and eventually ended up forking off Chromium.
Pouring more resources into existing projects seem more realistic.

Not at all. I'm just done with the drama and shite that keeps occurring over the piss battle of Chrome and Firefox. The internet is just a waste land and all those technologies you posted I have not seen one decent product come from them. Please feel to prove me wrong.
All of those technologies could be implemented in a better application away from the browser instead of throwing them in a "all-in-one" solution which ends up falling behind because some other new tech comes a long. It's your attitude which causes the internet to lack in the first place.
How is GIMP not a poorly implemented overly complex kitchen sink of incoherent features with bad user interfaces? And how are GIMP scripts any more safe and secure than JavaScript?
I mean sure, but let's not let perfect be the enemy of good here. Firefox is good enough and exists right now. Let's not delay this until some perfect future browser arrives.
So your best argument is a totally implausible baseless conspiracy theory without any proof or explanation or even links to batshit crazy youtube videos?
As such a gigantic international organization with so many people, how has Microsoft managed to keep that a secret for so long?
Microsoft must really know how to do security right, if they haven't leaked such a big story.
That would be bigger than then OpenAI soap opera! Eric S Raymond would rise up from his Racist MAGA Libertarian Climate Change Denying Gun-Nut Cesspit like the Creature From The Black Lagoon and run a victory lap!
It follows from your own conspiracy theory that Microsoft must be one of the most security conscious and proficient companies on Earth, leaving Apple in the dust, to keep such a huge story from getting out for so long!

Both browsers are old and have been abused.
