Are big companies like @Apple , @Google , @facebook slowly destroying the web? The power differential between Big Cos and users is huge. OTOH users vote w/ their actions. These days they are voting for walled content silos and limited creative agency. Is this the future we want?https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1189271582021160960 …

Apple does this through App Store policy. Facebook does this via their busted in-app "browser". The common thread is a silent substitution of user choice for unchangeable defaults that serve to reinforce the unequal power relationship.

In both cases, changing browsers matters much, much less than it did before. IDK why Mozilla, Brave, and others put up with it.
