Building a Better Web Browser - James Mickens - Harvard CS Colloquium 2015
Paul Irish
James Mickens's 2015 Harvard colloquium argues that browsers are bloated and insecure because feature races trump clean interface design. He presents a cleaner, more secure browser architecture (Atlantis) with a much smaller API surface.
HN cites it whenever people discuss rebuilding the web platform or what a better browser architecture could look like.
