I want a web browser that let me open multiple accounts of a similar site at once.
I've always thought the same. It'd be great to have a browser that allowed fully independent sessions to be running simulataneously
* Something other than javascript as a compilation target when using something else for those of us allergic to JS (scalajs.) I've only looked at it briefly but WebAssembly looks like a good candidate for this
* Less feature bloat, remove as many features as possible from the browser core and leave any non essential feature to plugins.
Make device fingerprinting impossible.
- works on X, the terminal and Android (yeah, that's a tall order, but it sure would be nice to have the same keystrokes available in X and on the terminal, and the same information available everywhere) - securely shares passwords across multiple hosts (emphasis on 'securely,' unlike Chrome and Firefox) - blocks ads - blocks JavaScript, but makes it very easy to selectively enable it - supports , and (hey, you did a…
Wait, what's insecure about Chrome password syncing?
The fast way to handle 20-200 tabs. Something like built in tab search, with tab caching.
It's how I survived with 600+ tabs in Firefox ;-)
no ads in any form
I'd like a strong "project" concept: a project could be a set of multi-tab windows, there'd be fast switching between projects and fast tab selection based on projects. Most computers nowadays have a lot of RAM and people use lots of tabs. It seems wrong that one resorts to public browser extensions to find ways to navigate through the tabs. Possibly also tree-like relationships between tabs so that subtrees of tabs…
Should work on an Atom 270 netbook without lagging. Currently I have to use either dillo or Opera 12.something.
I used Dillo between 209 and 2012 on an old 800MHz AMD box. It was really nice... being able to resume from hibernation, have 800 tabs open, and have a hyper-responsive machine. :D
* Browser written in a way that prevents most exploits.
* Built-in Javascript and cross-domain request blocking.
* Single-process sandboxed browser where only the active tab is allowed to run.
* Tab content written to disk so it can be restored in the event of a crash or running out of battery.
* Ability to "swap out" tabs to disk so they consume no memory.
* Ability to freeze all javascript code on a tab temporarily.
* Deep searching of history (i.e. page content).
* Created by a privacy-friendly organization/people who aren't trying to spy on you.
* Avoid doing things automatically (download files to a folder, search for misspelled URLs, send URL to Google when typing it in, etc). Don't have keyboard shortcuts that are hard to undo (also, don't have single-key letter/number shortcuts at all).
* Don't have an over-engineered build process. The browser should be possible to build (not necessarily fast) on an old or low-end computer.
