Most of this document reads to me like that's the problem they're trying to solve, not just chrome's huge marketshare, so simply not targeting it doesn't serve their purpose.
in real democracies the populists (facebook, tiktok, chrome) always win. because that's what the masses want
Some will say that the solution to network effects on the Web is decentralization but decentralization doesn't scale. Because of spam, bots and the fact that not everyone will follow the protocol there is always a need for moderators which is just another word for government.
Even Capitalism is largely decentralized but it can't function without government. I believe true decentralization (anarchism) is only possible on a small scale where everyone knows each other, very small communities. It's not possible on the global level like in Capitalism or even the Web.
Is Friedrich Merz a populist? Was Angela Merkel a populist? This theory seems to have considerable limits.
All we need is one fork that merges all of them into a single standard!
