For a new project I wonder how much simpler (or secure) a browser could be made if you only allowed a subset of js and browser apis.

I’d wildly guesstimate for 70% of use cases you wouldn’t even need 50% of stuff with some slight modifications. The web is just so bloated.

Edit: might as well prune down the css a little too and maybe dump wasm, webgl and canvas
