HN discussionWeb browsers are Eierlegende-wollmilchsau [0]. I think in the future we will need to fragment again, into applications that do nothing but WebRTC/AV, and applications optimised for forms and js, and still others that strong on aesthetics for people who want CSS to make thing beautiful.
