Some dude thinks web browsers should be more like smartphone apps:

By [...] using custom-configured Web browsers (let's call them DesktopApps), we could address the Internet's inherent security flaws. These DesktopApps could be branded appropriately and designed to launch automatically to Bank of America's or Facebook's Web site, for example, and go no further. Like their mobile application cousins, these DesktopApps would not present an URL bar or anything else making them look like the Web browsers they are on the surface, and of course they would be isolated from one another. Within these DesktopApps, attacks such as XSS, CSRF, and clickjacking would become largely extinct because no cross-domain connections would be allowed—an essential precondition.

A spectacularly dumb idea. The whole point of the web is that we only need a browser to do (almost) anything. This guy would bring back the bad old days of having to install lots of single-purpose client apps on every computer.
