are there any web browsers out there with full support for javascript, and can render html normally? I wouldn't need anything like flash or java applets, but full support for fancy javascript would be nice for getting through fancy web sites and such. If one doesn't exist, I think I might try to make one, and shoot for 5 - 15MB of ram usage.
This is also going to be the web browser that puts YOU in control. Per-site/per-domain/per-path settings for security and privacy; a UI that doesn't treat users like idiots by hiding everything; total control over JS execution environment and rendered page contents (although I don't really want to turn it into a full interactive HTML editor); choose what plugins you want to run on which pages, and what they can do.
Ambitious? Definitely. Crazy? Insane? Maybe. But it's clear the only users browser vendors are listening to these days are the mindless idiots who want to be mollycoddled, and if us power user's complaints aren't going to be observed, we must do it ourselves. I realised this many years ago. Staying passive and complaining won't change anything. Failure or not, there is no other option.
When it gets to the point of passing Acid2, it will be released into the public domain. After all, this will become your browser, the people's browser, not mine. I may share further improvements to mine and I will encourage you to share yours, but unlike the forced-update mentality of other browser vendors, there will be no obligation. It will be yours to do with as you wish.
