Web Browsers Must Be Removed

They run arbritrary code from sketchy servers called "websites" on people's hardware with way too many privileges. While free and open source standalone web applications exist that only use minimal JS code to access the same web resources with a much better user experience. Without trackers, without ads and third parties.

I want a browser to be able to run arbitrary code. That's the whole point. I want to play a game or use a complex application in the browser without having to install anything.

It won’t happen because people don’t care enough.

I don’t mean to sound glib. But people derive a ton of utility from the web as it stands today. If they were asked if they supported the removal of web browsers they would absolutely say no. The privacy costs are worth the gains. If you want change you have to tackle that perception.
