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

Or iCab of the late 90s.

Honestly I don’t think it’s much to ask to make the browser as lean as possible and have development focused on browsing and leave most of the rest to extensions. It’s kind more like where we were 14 years ago.

Edit: Features I wouldn’t mind built in would be much like what vibi suggested. Built in volume control , per tab. Stuff like that makes sense.

I agree it would be nice to have a product like that available as an option. I think the masses would still prefer a monolithic tool like Chrome for its convenience, though. I still remember all the annoyances of "You need a new plugin to view this content. Go get it and come back once it's installed."

I do remember that. But I’m not saying it wouldn’t be capable of playing video out of the box. I’m saying having a built in terminal and photoshop is dumb. Focus on the thing you’re supposed to be doing well.
