There are many good ideas, it look like. Many ideas are ones I had wanted, so, it is good. But, not quite everything.

Does it support customizing the interpretation of HTML and CSS? Is the web developer console implemented (it is useful for end users too, not only web developers)? Is there a split-screen mode? Can it auto-generate a table of contents? Is the jar: URI scheme supported (I used this to view EPUB files)? Form data saving to local files? Footnotes? Relative URL entry? JavaScript Date spoofing? ARIA view? Regular expression search? Better file selection? Can HSTS be disabled? Animation control? SQL (another way of sorting/filtering tables, copying them to external files, etc)? Adding or changing MIME type handlers? Does it pretty print JSON files? Disabling sounds is implemented, but can you adjust the volume or divert the sound to an external program (that will receive the audio on stdin)? Disabling scripts is implemented, but can you "partially disable" scripts (so that some APIs work and some don't or have a different behaviour)? Can you define your own character encodings? Is there any way to use extensions written in C?

Some of the things I listed might already be implemented, and some can probably be implemented easily enough in Lisp, but some might be more difficult to do.

There are a lot more things I would have it done differently, requiring probably modifying the engine significantly from common web browsers, I would guess.
