The author gives many product reasons to switch (X is superior to Y)

- jerf 8y agoI'd love to look into the alternate universe in which for $REASON the web never developed the ability to have cross-domain requests. I'm sure advertising would still develop, but it would at least be more difficult. Or one where for $EVEN_WEIRDER_REASON advertising-supported websites were banned; either be free or take money. Not because I think it would be a paradise per se, but just, I'd like to study how it developed differently.
