    Maybe making a browser doesn’t need to be so damn expensive. Let the web standards freeze so we aren’t constantly chasing shiny things. The browser is in a really good spot today. What else does it need to be?

      A non-exhaustive list:

      • creating a webpage has gotten too complicated and time-consuming
      • accessibility, light/dark, should be a browser-feature, not something each.single.webpage has to implement
      • monetization is an ongoing issue
      • browsers need to do too much, are too complex and monolitic
      • lots of duplication of software/system tasks in the browser, like process/memeory-management. But on webpage-side too, like video player, see point 1 and 2. Called inner-platform effect

        I’ll be honest, I booted up a laravel project through herd and I’ve got a testing environment setup for the let go.

      There’s a ton of stuff I still want to be supported, especially web assembly.

      But for most things, yeah, we could probably slow down a bit.
