Personally, it would be nice if web designers would stop shoehorning JavaScript and other rich web stuff into pages where the same thing could be accomplished with plain, old HTML, would stop setting cookies when they aren't needed, and would do a sanity check to ensure their forms work properly with keyboard and tabbing. That said, a site-side fix to any problem only fixes it for that specific site, while a browser-side fix could in theory fix it across many different sites. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much of a happy medium between lumbering behemoths like Firefox and Chromium that weigh hundreds of megabytes by the time you add up everything they need to run, and lightweight html pagers like links, elinks, and lynx that are arguably only good for accessing web 1.0 content. I'd love to ditch Firefox and the GUI in general, but for the sake of my sanity, I don't think I could make the move without at least the following features in a text web browser: Enough JavaScript/HTML5 support to display pages that use them to load content, ideally disabled by default with a easy method of toggling it on when needed or permanently allowing specified sites. Navigational hotkeys comparable to those provided when using a Graphical browser with Orca, NVDA, or JAWS(seriously, some of these are so handy I wonder how sighted people with mice(including my own past self) make due without them. The option to turn multi-column web pages into single column pages or to stretch the active cell in a table or element in a form to fit the screen width. And my dream web browser would probably nearly replicate the Firefox+Orca user experience minus the occasional sluggishness introduced by the GUI and Python while having auto-converting all clickables to something that can be activated with spacebar and/or enter/return and adds in basic keyboard shortcuts for temporarily/permanently allowing JavaScript/Cookies in the active tab/from the site in the active tab(If starting with Firefox-like keybindings, perhaps ctrl+J to toggle JavaScript and ctrl+K to toggle cookies adding shift to change the permission permanently). Sadly, I don't know the first thing about coding a web browser, and given how long the well known text browsers have been lagging in regards to the most essential aspects of the modern web, I can only hope their developers have their reasons for keeping their browsers in the past and aren't just too lazy/don't know how to modernize their projects.
