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.

Firefox in the meanwhile but long term we need to move away from the unfathomably bloated web protocol standard/browsers.

Web protocol? Which one?

I wouldn’t consider http or dns bloated, for instance. And tcp/ip isn’t web-specific enough for me to think that’s what you mean by “the web protocol”.

Are you just trying to say you don’t like websites in a way that sounds techy?

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.

What’s the “web protocol”? Are you talking about HTTP?

Seems from their response to me asking the same thing, they mean browser engines, not anything to do with any of the protocols involved.

I wish I’d said “web standards” instead.
