And what features and/or technologies you’d rather not see in a web browser

Lets make this interesting: you can imagine features ( there’s no wrong answers ) , its not just about features that you already saw in other browsers

      I believe most would prefer a modular approach with a well built extension and addon framework.

      I’d prefer the web browser to be good at web browsing. Excellent software already exists that does all of that.


      • bring back flash

      bring back flash

      There are really good reasons flash died. If you’re desperate for flash content, use ruffle.

      Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.
