WASM Wayland Web (WWW)


o there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web standards complexity against any newcomers. Maybe eventually someone will succeed and there will be 2 again.

But what's important is that this would make it easy enough to build new browsers that they would stop being a point of control. Poll the feeds, make a UI, download the WASM enclosures to view the posts. Or you can do something entitely different in your WASM that is not HTML based at all but a better paradigm (oh hi Spritely or display postscript or gemini capsules or whatever).
