I want browsers to be minimal and simple. For example, canvas should only provide a framebuffer to draw into, and all the rest can be done with WASM libraries. Web Audio should only provide an audio thread, and things like low-pass filters can be implemented in WASM. WebRTC should only provide UDP support, etc.

This would make creating competition easier and reduce attack surface. As a nice side effect, it would become impossible to use canvas or web audio for fingerprinting.
