> nice to have fast document-only thing separate from apps
The problem is economical, not technical. Content producers want stats (who is reading what for how long?). They want flexibility (images, fonts, math formulas, typography, videos, interactive 3D diagrams). They want income (Ads suck the least apparently). They want wide reach (desktop, mobile, ebook reader, billboards). They want interaction (comments, notes, sync). Todays browsers provide all that, but a document-only thing would restrict them. Find a way to improve upon the browser (most prominently on income) and investors will throw money at you to build it.
Too bad he hates web browsers so much.
But I agree on a few ideas. It would be nice to have fast document-only thing separate from apps.
It would be nice if browsers had finer-grained security like Android.
It might be cool if we could take apart the browser monolith and have something more like components somehow.
