As soon as the author started explaining problems about browsers I started thinking about solutions. And I realised that "we" already tried to solve this problem with plugins. Flash, Java applets, Silverlight, etc. were all envisioned as solutions to these problems. And it doesn't take too much brain to realise they all failed (at least in the popularity contest).
