So how is this any different if we don’t have a browser? People still want to visit “websites” which in your world is even worse. Because now every website is a distinct application (yikes!). The problem is that people are willing to run arbitrary code in the first place.

How many times have _you_ as a developer, run arbitrary scripts from the internet? Blindly accepts packages that you have not vetted?



I would be very different if browsers were tools to view documents though. I am not saying that browsers don't have a purpose. I just question that browsers should answer the question about what their scope is with a loud "yes!"


Too many to count.

Remember Flash? ;)
