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)."

"bookmarks, if they were searchable i think that would be a big improvement."
Opera did that years ago, AFAIK. And recently, other browsers have picked up on it too.

Sorry for the OT, but I wanted to thank the Slashdot crew for adding .nyud.net:8090 to the end of *every* domain linked in this article. :)
