The implications for the decision, if upheld, are staggering: law enforcement would be free to remotely search and seize information from your computer, without a warrant, without probable cause, or without any suspicion at all. To say the least, the decision is bad news for privacy. But it's also incorrect as a matter of law, and we expect there is little chance it would hold up on appeal. (It also was not the central component of the judge's decision, which also diminishes the likelihood that it will become reliable precedent.)

Why do web browsers even exist as standalone monolithic software? Everything in any web page is a form of media which can be rendered by existing software. Text? There are standard libraries for rendering fonts. Pictures? There are plenty of renderers. Videos? Plenty of offline video players.
The only thing a web browser should do is compose the rectangles in the right order, then call the respective text, image and video renderers. "Webkit" and any other "browser" engines shouldn't even be a thing.

This is how LispWeb browsers will be implemented.

It's far easier to do tight resource accounting and ensuring full media support when you implement it yourself. It's far easier to do all this in a cross platform manner if you do it yourself.

Have you ever looked at the source code tree of any modern browser? They already use libs for everything you mention and more. The problems are with data access controls regarding javascript, cookies, and plugins, as well as the C-level broken shit like buffer overruns because we're not using LispWeb browsers.

Doesn't matter if it's legal or not, they'll do it anyway, like they have been for years.
