Unfortunately, I can't argue with much of that. In fact, if anything, you're leaving out complexities.

There are a few browsers out there that use WebKit but none of Chromium. (Surf and Uzbl are a couple that I've used in the past.) With a little scripting, you could get them to, for instance, run two different "profiles" with different cookie stores at the same time. But they're far from full-featured.

Maybe what we really need is to scrap the web and start fresh with something better.
