> The only feature that people want and need from browsers ... is enhanced privacy and cast-iron control over what a browser is doing. ... client web application firewalls, different, customisable jailing schemes, detailed easy to understand monitoring, file monitors, inviolable fine-grained per-io-device permissions, better Tor and IPFS integration

That's what you're interested in at least, I don't care about these features and if it was up to me the #1 priority for Firefox developers would be making desktop mode persistent by-site on Android

Anyway, once again, well done. It seems to me that mainstream "web browsers" have become new "operating systems", but without the visbility, structure and purpose of actual operating systems.

I'll say this to anyone who will listen, we need to stop treating browsers as OS'. Whatever happened to good old desktop applications?
