The ability to fully encrypt all browser contents (Cookies, passwords, even the browser code itself) would be amazing as they can easily be hijacked with a simple crtl + c and ctrl + v (malware bad)

I agree, session hijack seems to be a thing, this would help prevent some.

An easy proof of concept on how easy it's to hijack browser contents would be just Ctrl - C the contents of the browser, load that up to a USB flash drive & Ctrl - V it onto another pc or OS install.

Yeah. IDK why most browsers don't have this already. I mean, things like video streams are encrypted but passwords aren't.😕

Great, Microsoft themselves have started proving our point by stealing cookies & browsing data from Google's chrome browser.
