  1. I want a browser which understands #WWW, #Gopher, #Gemini, #HTTP, #FTP, #WebDav+#DeltaV, #Magnet, #i2p, #tor #onion (and likely more?)

    I want an browser that comes with an editor which lets me easily create web sites and publish them in some manner

    Why don't we have a "Publish…" command near the "Print…" command OS wide, but at least in nearly all document apps?

    I want a browser which when given a HTTP-URL looks for a "torrent" file and when it find it will torrent files down as needed (and share) files as requested by others... would be an awesome way to load balance a sudden increase in popularity

    Maybe even add support for "app.javascript" and "app.scheme" and "app.wasm"?

    I want the browser to provide a set of styles which the web author can select from to render the page: Article, Paper, Advert, Newspaper, Journal, etc… giving the whole world wide web a more uniform look and feel

    Maybe "index.*" should actually be an index? Maybe open a manifest file instead which tells you how to obtain the web site, which files to open first, have a map of the website, the license of the site, limits of control, etc…

    I want a browser which when given a #magnet link download the folders/file and renders it…

    We need an open source reference implementation build by people who are not thinking of it as a product, not considering commercial interests, refuses to implement shitty standards, is willing to push further, to innovate beyond the limited understanding of how a browser should behave... be opinionated and break the standard in novel ways but supporting them with a compatibility mode
