Nearly all of the security and privacy problems we have with the World Wide Web today was because it went from a content-delivery platform (with deliberately limited interactivity) to a fairly complete app-delivery platform.

Javascript isn't the new Java. Web browsers are the new Java.

I would be very much in favor of a way to draw a line between "content" on the web and "apps" delivered by the web. I don't know what form that would take. But it will probably never happen because the FAANGs that run the web these days are actively opposed to any way to deliver content over the web that doesn't also let them include apps to track your activities online.

Maybe some kind of plain text machine-parsable-but-human-readable "protocol" that "applications" could use to specify the "content type" of some "resource" they want to "get"...
