   I'm just trying out Servo (rust web rendering engine) for the first time. It's actually pretty good. Not as many CSS problems as I get with Ladybird. But Mastodon sites don't render. Sooo… next!

     @steeph I think we should move bookmarks and history handling out of the browser and build an API for external bookmark managers that combine the features of "read later" like pocket/wallabag and possibly even RSS readers and have browsers basically just display web pages.

     Search should also be something that's configured in the OS and then just opens the web page in the browser.

     Ideally, we have tabbing window managers but I suppose that ship has long sailed.

     Surfing the web with such a simple GUI made me think though: Do I - does a web browser - actually need anything else? A browsing history can be useful sometimes. But it's not actually that important to me. Bookmarks can be stored in any database app, or in text files. Tabs aren't necessary if you have a task bar. You can configure that to look like Firefox tabs if you want. Many settings and customisations I'd miss coming from a Firefox fork. Some extensions, too.
