Refresh: concept for a new kind of web browser
Here’s an interesting question to turn over this lovely Sunday afternoon.<p>What stops you from implementing this yourself? Why?<p>Chrome is supposedly open source. So is Firefox.<p>It’s an important question, because the answers lead to the reasons why we’re subservient to megacorps. And it also shows merely being open source and free to use isn’t enough to ensure freedom.<p>We tend to believe that (a) browsers are an open ecosystem, yet (b) we can’t modify them. This is a contradiction.
