Looking at the holes and crocks of shit we see every damn day related to HTTP, HTML, JavaScript and the whole programming model that surrounds them, it's about time someone just shot it all and started again putting security and privacy first rather than playing whack-a-mole all the time.
Unfortunately I fear this is not possible based on the sheer momentum that this ball of sticky tape and string has.
I think the sheer number of articles that paper HN all the time over browser and protocol vulnerabilities, leaks and problems back up my assertion.
EDIT: just to add, my frustrations are based on having to spend 5 hours porting some JS code so it works properly on all browsers.
