I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

That’s a rant about the complexity of modern browser engines, not the protocols. The web worked just fine before CSS and JS. The protocols aren’t the problem. Lynx is still being maintained if you want the web without the bloat of features like js and inline images.

I believe the rant demonstrates there cannot be more competition for browsers and therefore justifies the idea that browsers will stagnate and come to an end. I think the solution will be to move away from one application doing many things to using separate software dedicated to narrow purposes.

Ah yes, I do the same in my kitchen. One machine that does one job and then sits around unused for the rest of the year.

No, obviously that is not the way. I don't want to deal with 20 separate programs to do the job Firefox does.

When you want to use the scanner but can't because the printer is broken.
