Text based browser. lol.

I can play full games like krunker.io right now in browser with minimal lag.

I hope all the OS developers are taking note. OS might be just a browser plugin in the future instead of the other way round.

Humans have a brain that soaks new information like a sponge. Internet is the new crack. Having a limited browser is sad.

Edit: ok I tried it. I have to allow 2-3 cookies to run google.com. Facebook doesnot run. I think its a niche thing. Like among peers it would be fun to learn to run and run it but not a stable thing.

lol?

Maybe the promise of "thin clients" might be realized. Anything is possible.

Where did "Can't teach old dogs new tricks" come from then? Maybe fpr young children, but older people have trouble picking up new technology.

I guess you are right - like a sponge.

I think you don't understand the concept of an OS and a browser. If what you say happens, then your idea of a “browser” is actually the OS and the “plugin” is an application.
Bloatware. lol. I just installed this thing on Ubuntu and replied to your comment. lol. Love it! lol.
I just opened up krunker.io in Firefox. lol. They seem to care a lot about my privacy, because the popup said "We care about your privacy". Then I clicked "Show purposes" and it listed ~20 cookies, six of which are "Always active". Ones like "Technically deliver ads or content" which seems super important. lol. I can confirm the popup lag was minimal, I hope krunker.io developers note that. lol.
