We argue that the transition from laptops to handheld computers will happen only if we rethink the design of web browsers. Web browsers are an indispensable part of the end-user software stack but they are too inefficient for handhelds. While the laptop reused the software stack of its desktop ancestor, solid-state device trends suggest that today's browser designs will not become sufficiently (1) responsive and (2) energy-efficient. We argue that browser improvements must go beyond JavaScript JIT compilation and discuss how parallelism may help achieve these two goals. Motivated by a future browser-based application, we describe the preliminary design of our parallel browser, its work-efficient parallel algorithms, and an actor-based scripting language.
