If the web was developed today, it would be rejected from the App Store. And while I agree that Apple was first, others followed suit and the spirit of something like the web is terrifying to established tech monopolists. Just read the Gates emails about the web from the 90s.


It is rejected currently and any dynamic app browser is banned too.

No idea how this wasn’t immediately quashed by regulation. It’s a 15 year long version of the M$ antitrust lawsuit.

The reason it’s not blocked is probably because Apple browser seems close enough to “the web” as we know it.

The web should be a lot more advanced today than it is, and Apple is to blame for that. Blocking progress for over a decade.


Yep, the web sets one free, there's no lock-in, no permission. We can't have that.
