    I wish I could disagree with Drew but that is how I feel as well. We need new protocols that solve many issues of the web, including simpler presentation, and that are much simpler to implement. Having many capable client implementations is key to keeping the web open and accessible for everyone.

    Meanwhile Google continues on their mission to build isolation layer on top of Windows in order to make Microsoft even more irrelevant. This process destroys the web and grants them totalitarian powers over it. One way they do that is by adding more APIs to JS, e.g.: https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/
