OP did an excellent job of explaining a lot of concepts and under the hood details. It's amazing given OP is 16.

OPs sentiments are very much true. For example, there will never be a feature complete alternative to Chromium/WebKit/Gecko.

But there are movements to move software to a smaller stack, like the Gemini protocol for example.

People are realising how brittle and inefficient (in terms of runtime computer resource usage and human resource usage in maintaining them) modern complex software are.

We hope to see things get better.

Thanks OP for the article

That's because Google discovered that by infiltrating the standards committees they can build a much better moat than anything IE ever had.

To the point where everyone, including MS, gave up on implementing a web browser.

The fact that QUIC is now HTTP3 is both awesome in the biblical sense and would be completely unbelievable to anyone involved with the previous versions of the spec in the 90s and 00s.
