How to Build a Better Browser
TuringTest writes "Interface designer and IE ex-developer Scott Berkun
writes an essay on basic principles of web browser design, moved by the recent presence of Firefox and Opera in the headlines. Gives plenty of design constraints and guidelines, some insightful, some debatable. Personally some features that I'd like to see in my browser include colaborative filtering (a.k.a. del.icio.us integration), a unified tool for history+bookmarks in a single list (filtered by keyword tags), and automatic generation of keywords for the bookmarked pages (something that Open Text Summarizer can do)."
You mean to tell me that the IE developers didn't focus on security???
NOW you tell me !!!
If you're half as beautiful naked, you'd be 4 times as beautiful with twice as many clothes on.

The one thing I'd like to see is a spelchkr and grammer checkar build right into the browser.
Wooden that be kool?
It is similar to demanding that your girlfriend be a rich, nymphomaniac supermodel who models lingerie in Paris and Milan during the week, but plays Doom3 and mods cases on the weekend. Doesn't exist.
I was about to prove you wrong, but my girlfriend doesn't play Doom3.
No offense dude, but I cringe every time someone says "TeeVee", "PeeCee" or "PeeWee".
Its TV, PC, and okay. The last one IS PeeWee, but that's what I think of when people say those things. It always makes me picture that annoying PeeWee Herman guy.
Personally, it annoys the hell out of me that Firefox, IE, Opera, etc., have to even try to run this code before exitting. Why can't someone write a simple browser that can solve the halting problem, so we can be done with this?
