How could browsers be made better?

Get rid of all the privacy leaking stuff.

No more user-agent, no reporting of available fonts, screen size, whatever. The browser needs to be a black box as seen from the server.

At the moment every browser on the web is just about uniquely identifiable. You can check this for yourself at the site of EFF: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org

This has to stop.
