We need a simple browser implementation for the masses. Is there any such browser in existence?
With some polish and maintenance it could serve as base for a simple(r) browser for the masses. It is essentially a small wrapper around WebKit, which is far from simple, but it has the benefit of great support for modern web features.
In Firefox:
LocalStorage - about:config Dom.storage.enabled
Canvas - block JS via noscript
DRM - Preferences->Disable DRM content checkbox
WebRTC - about:config media.peerconnection.enabled;
As a side note, noscript has been an eye-opener for how many things are loaded when I open anywebsite! It's been fast, but I've been getting annoyed by guessing what to enable to move past a blank webpage. And WTF is newrelic and why does half of my internet browsing use it?
