Sure, OT -but you may also like thinking other way about (-;
Security. I recall a possibly apocryphal story about TCP - namely that it was originally meant to be encrypted. Supposedly it was the NSA who had gentle words with implementors which led to the spec not including any mechanisms for encrypted connections. So, encrypted by default TCP, for a start. DNS should have a much simpler, possibly TOFU model to help with the usability elements. DNSSEC is just a nightmare and co…
Some way to make spoofing harder. Complete cryptographic authentication and filtering of every packet is probably technically unfeasible even now. But certainly we can think of other "soft" measures.

Could that backfire? I mean, if something becomes harder to pull off, but still not hard enough to block bad actors from doing it, wouldn't we end up in a situation where strong authentication is perceived as not being "that important" because "what are the odds that somebody is spoofing the packets?"
I don't see how would that preclude strong authentication. We would need TLS all the same.
IP address per device instead of per network interface. Lisp instead of JavaScript.
Domain parking/squatting is disallowed. You’d have to make the rules in some imperfect way, but it’d be better than what we have today.

> IPv6 reintroduces equity to the internet that facebook benefited from in it's inception Except for the fact nobody can type, much less remember any IPv6 address.
and how many people remember public ipv4 addresses besides a couple of easy to remember ipv4 addresses like 1.1.1.1 for instance? rfc1918 address space is easily remembered because people use mostly 192.168.xx.xx. but ipv6 has the same idea and when writing it shorthand isnt significantly larger.
Obviously doesn’t scale, but I would assume this was normal back when you only interacted with say <10 servers.

> The alternative to JS is not "no scripting", it's websites that only function with proprietary plugins installed. Yes and those were websites that for the most part nobody gave a crap about. The important sites weren't willing to dump so many of their viewers. Heck, even post-JS, the web didn't suck so badly until the option of shutting off JS was removed from browser UI's. Before that, enough users shut off JS tha…
I think you're underestimating the amount of sites that had flash.
