The Browser Monopoly Problem
Three companies control the entire web ecosystem. We need 50 browsers, not 3.
The Browser Monopoly Problem
The browser mafia is strong. I tried to create a simple free extension to change the empty new tab on Chrome and put weather, calendar, and a custom search box. Google rejected it with the highest alert. And they asked me to pay to get rejected too.
You cannot do anything against Google or anything that disturbs Microsoft's business model. You cannot do anything in Safari anyway. Zero customization possibility to help a user if you want—or of course if you want to get evil also.
Isn't it already weird that 3 companies are gatekeepers for the entire web ecosystem? They decide how you view them, or how much they track you in the meantime.
We should have 50 web browsers. Light ones, heavily customizable ones, extra secure ones. Not 3 crappy ones that dominate the market.
The web was supposed to be open. Instead, it's controlled by a handful of corporations who decide what's allowed, what's trackable, and what's profitable. Browser diversity isn't just a technical issue—it's a democratic one.
