I think the anti-net-neutrality people are running out of fresh, not yet discredited arguments. In OSI model IIRC: Application (software) is layer 7. Physical connection is layer 1. I am sure somebody will correct me.

Not sure who you're claiming is anti Net Neutrality, but if that's levelled at me it's quite wrong. See my other comment in thread, but in short I don't think a user cares really that action is at a different level of the conceptual OSI model, they care if they can consume given media, if NN legislation shifts things so that the browser blocks the media from a particular server instead of that servers upstream ISP I don't think users are going to be applauding too much.

  They should be applauding though. We can always fork Firefox if it's not acting in our best interest. We cannot fork Comcast.

      Well "cant" v. "wont" is sometimes hard to distinguish. There's little practical differences here though.
