Well that's certainly a hot take. While I have no doubt the Tailscale team has some talented minds, I am not so naive as to expect a truly reimagined Internet—i.e. one that puts privacy, anonymity in first place, and removes the need for Cloudflare-like MITM—to come out of a government or private company, especially one that's fueled by grow-fast venture capital money.

I'm talking more at the protocol level. My number 2 contender would be Google with spdy/quik, but that was 2009/early 2010s.

I'm probably biased because some tailscale employees gave me some of the best written explanation for the evolution of networking infra protocols I've seen, will dig it up from my comment history in a sec
