Web browser wish list
Apparently Amazon might be making a browser. Some features I would like in a web browser:
- Full text search over everything I’ve ever seen in my browser
- Image preview and browser for all images ever loaded in my browser
- Ability to download streaming media as a file
- Being able to use HTML tables like a spreadsheet (sort, edit/change/reference, row/col/block select, etc.)
