To hell. In a handbasket.

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.

Man I am the complete opposite. I need my browser to display the Web with tons and tons of tweaks and adjustments and filters in place to make it actually readable for me. Rawdogging the Web in 2025 is wild.

That's fine. Those are the plugins you chose to install for your particular tastes and these are very important options to have available to the user should he choose to use them. That's not what I meant by "smart" features.
What I don't want is my browser with built-in modern equivalents of Bonzi Buddy that you can't remove.

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.

Anywhere so long as they don't try to kill adblockers
Everything else the forks can work around. What's important is they don't give into manifest v3/WEI and become complicit in the death of adblockers.

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

My guess:
I also hope they add some AI thing. OMG I need more AI things in my webbrowser. It doesn't matter what it does, but it has to have this icon: ✨, that's the important
wow, S P A R K L Y
There already is really good AI integration in Firefox, just not enabled by default. It's a sidebar, not intrusive and adds new entry to right click context window. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ai-chatbot
It's going backwards. You're supposed to make a search engine first, then create a web browser.
