I am tired of turning features off. At this point I just want a boring browser that handles html/css/js, bookmarks, tabs (should sleep inactive tabs), plugins (for my chosen password manager and ad blocker), and page zoom. Those are the only features I actually use regularly.

That's it, I would be willing to make a one time purchase for that, no subscriptions... Ok, I could maybe be convinced for a subscription if it was a low yearly one.

You should probably look into https://justthebrowser.com/. This software sets up browser corporate policies to achieve exactly what you want.

By getting you run run arbitrary code when in the end all is does is install this policy file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/just-the-b...

Maybe we need a justtheconfig.com

Don't forget an obfuscation layer to spoof things like canvas fingerprinting, installed fonts, etc. I'd pay for that.

Sure, I just want the core browser stuff and plugins, security/privacy kinda goes with that.

It feels like browsers are like old IDEs where everything is bundled in. I think it would be much better it they were more like modern code editors where people can make their own custom IDE by installing the plugins they want.

Safari is 90% this, and maybe before they changed how extensions worked it was like 99% this. I weep for how close it was.

Its not good enough for a fork. It needs to be a major, well maintained product, like firefox.
