> The point is that a lot of sites out there don't need anything more than the web tech of 2 decades ago. With more people being aware of that and using browsers like this, the Google monopoly may weaken.

I always thought this was a way to get out of this, that agrees with your vision. First you'll need a powerful force to take back control on defining web standards.

This new web standard would be a very simplistic one, making possible for two or three (or even one) people to create new browsers on top of it.

But this movement would need to be so strong, that it would be possible to make a dent and start to lead a new way. And this is the one of the most hardest part. People on this movement would need to be prepared to fight for at least 10 years without loosing its faith until the killer app of this movement should be able to be at a market share bigger than Safari and taking over the Firefox position.

This movement could use the hype akin to Rust folks to navigate the harder first years. Its a possibility but it's hard to become possible. Another thing to notice is that the Firefox position is getting weaker, but the most probable candidate to take over is the chrome-based Brave.

So unless a "black-swan" event happen it's hard to see a big change into this in the coming years. BTW it's even more likely that the browser standards get stronger by completely taking over the mobile applications..

Gemini is one of such simplistic standards.

I think Gemini will have people following it and developing for it, but i think it could have been a little more ambitious and also took tech history a little bit more serious as to not take too much out of what is actually a improvement done on the web that could be a soft fork of the current web with a lot less things, but not as simplistic as Gemini is.

So i don't think Gemini is "it" yet, but at least i liked the audacity and the way of thinking, its on the right direction and actually it should be people like Tim-berners-lee that should actually be leading this, but unfortunately they are lost..
