@thufie i think it's right to be upset at that tbh it's not a technical bloat issue that requires Extra Work to mitigate, it's just capitalism making vendors make decisions that are not in the interest of the end user
I feel like way too often ppl conflate
"the big heavy bloat of the web / can't make a new web browser"
with
"the corporate takeover of the web / panopticon platform centralization"
They are totally not the same thing!
In my opinion the last ghost of a chance of a decentralized internet depends heavily on some of the "worst offender" bloat features in web browsers, like ServiceWorker, the local caches and databases, and connectivity enablers like WebSocket / WebRTC
Reason being that if the majority of browsers support these, it could make self-hosting and community hosting web platforms and content way easier

@forestjohnson @thufie and we preserve legacy compatibility for good reasons
