I see a web browser like a TV screen. An I need it to do is display the internet with nothing in the way. Any attempt to add built-in “smart” features to it will make it worse. If I want something else added to it, I’ll plug it in myself.
Integrate DownThemAll, without fucking up existing installations of DownThemAll. Like how you uninstalled and blocked the Pocket plugin.
Allow blob:// videos to be saved normally. It’s just a file. I’m looking at it. Move it from memory to the hard drive.
Tab Mix Plus needs to be feasible again, with multi-row tabs that aren’t a hundred pixels wide. I want a grid of favicons. I don’t give one solitary shit how anyone else feels about that desire.
Aggressively commit to supporting adblockers. Browsers obey the user. Servers can send documents, and we will do with them as we please.

True. Although in many cases this is indicative of a stream (not really a traditional file for the browser), but at the very least, even in the (rare?) cases that there isn’t cached content already, it should theoretically be possible to start saving the video the moment you press on the save button…
Already the “picture-in-picture” mode Firefox offers is a step in the right direction, imho. It allows the browser to take over control of the playback, which is something some places try to forbid.
In the trash along with chromium the moment servo is even slightly usable on all the sites I use.
Now we have to just figure out a way to safely transplant Servo into FireFox-Forks
Same but with LadyBird. Once its available, a lot of nerds will definitely advocate for its usage if its good.
I doubt it’ll be usable on most websites when they release their first version. It might take decades to support current web standards…
