What I want is a damn web browser thats versatile. I really dont care on tech use if the certificate is bad, i know im logging into it. I want to tell my web browser what version of java to use and where. I dont want it to resize thing on what it "thinks" is how i want to view it. I dont want it to remember my password unless I tell it to (thats a lie, im a terrible IT guy, i remember every password I can on my tech laptop). I want to be able to connect to the most insecure version of anything ever because i have some switch i touch once every 5 years that will only allow me to access it that way. I want my web browser to NEVER assume anything. This isnt an issue with the web interface as much as it is with web browsers simply not being versatile enough pieces of software for purpose driven users. Im amazed that there hasnt been a tech browser designed. Hell, I would actually pay for that.
