The main problem is the mess that is called html/css. You can't "just" build a simple browser with limited resources anymore. And by limited i mean thousands of man-years of work backed by a multi million organization. I don't know if it is a calculated taktic from google to rapidly expanding and driving the web forward (i still hope the intention – at least at the beginning – was in good faith) so that nobody starting today from scratch could ever catch up. But i guess everybody that started to build a simple hobby web browser knows how unachievable this task is. If we ever want competition in this field again and don't want to handover the web to google, we need to start from scratch or at least start to massively deprecate stuff. And by the grave of Alan Turing start by making a website fail to render if the html is not correct.

It's so sad. We're so trapped. Fortunately, Google (or any other) can't completely alienate a huge part of the web. So eventhough they control the browser, they don't control its content...
