And what features and/or technologies you’d rather not see in a web browser

Lets make this interesting: you can imagine features ( there’s no wrong answers ) , its not just about features that you already saw in other browsers

      I believe most would prefer a modular approach with a well built extension and addon framework.

      • native ssh and ftp

      I’d prefer the web browser to be good at web browsing. Excellent software already exists that does all of that.

      • bring back flash

      Dear god no

      bring back flash

      There are really good reasons flash died. If you’re desperate for flash content, use ruffle.

      ftp

      It’s crazy that Firefox was good with ftp until they just decided to not support it anymore 😕
