From time to time, users propose ideas for ReactOS. Here's a place to put them. We might never use them, but here is a place to showcase them.

Base MSHTML renderer on Webkit or Blink

This would be beneficial for not only us, but Windows too. So ANY browser can take advantage of the fastest renderer code, even very tiny ones such as OffByOne or Dillo, perhaps making them faster than Chrome.

Flatten registry writes

This involves using a small area of memory to track the last so many unique writes to the registry. The idea is to check the writes against this list and to not write again if they are here. This helps prevent unnecessary disk accesses. That will help preserve the life of SSD drives and possibly make defragmentation of the volume with the system hives more thorough.
