Finally someone with some brains!

That pesky browser thing never could do anything of value. Umm...Dah... What a joke! It's all "boondoggle"!

It unquestionably couldn't ever be used to build "apps" [1].

Certainly could never ever be fast enough [2].

Obviously cannot ever possibly utilise multiple cores [3].

Most definitely never ever could do 3D [4].

So, you're right, I doubt it will ever do crypto [5].

Those fools might even consider "Online Banking" or something crazy like that!

When will those stupid browser idiots learn?

Let's get the web crypto done, and maybe then we can find an "Encrypt before you upload" button on every single web service that stores your data, from e-mail to Dropbox-like services.

Hopefully the Government hasn't tried to put a backdoor in it, but I assume that would be discovered pretty quickly.


You're setting yourself up for disappointment ^w^

We can dream though, can't we?
