I don’t think it’s an engineer problem as much as a management problem. The implementation is done by the engineers, sure, but it’s the product managers who decide the direction and it’s them who are at fault here

Welp, there we go.
I'm working on the contrary, some sort of gemini web plus with modules, to keep the engine as small as possible to make porting/reinventions easier. The engine only provides basics like displaying text. Modules provide functionality like 'video player', gallery', 'search bar with filters', 'login', keeping webshops, company pages, etc. in mind. There's no JS or CSS, the styling is entirely in the hand of the browser/user (including dark mode, mobile view), the servers push only content. Likewise, active logins and payments will be handled by the browser, not the webpage. Though it will not be compatible with HTTPS/the current web. The protocol and the browser will be licensed open source.
I'm still planning, it's not even in the prototype phase yet. Should i push this further? If so, how would i get financial support? opentech.fund, ngi.edu, nlnet?
They can't stop dns filters :)
Yes they can. DNS blocking doesn't stop YouTube ads, for example. They could also force chrome to use their own DNS servers and use attestation to make sure you're not bypassing that somehow
This guy is amazing. He is asking for patience to move this to a proper place to discuss this website drm and then commits it to chrome lol.
Fuckers
