And he does not even talk about the software required to browse the "Big Tech Web": only google = blink (~wekbit) and geeko (just a google financed kult to avoid anti-trust), and apple = webkit, with their respective c++ compilers (gcc and clang).<p>There is only one way out: noscript/basic (x)html browsers which does not require the army of devs from google or apple. Regulate aggressively (or it won't happen) to make at least critical web sites work with them (administration online services, utility online services, shopping, banks). You can do wonders with basic HTML forms.<p>video streaming services would just need to support the <video> element with a URL where seeking is standardized (I think apple HLS did just that).
