But that's exactly what's happening with browsers. Suddenly, Google wants to raze ad blocking, and everyone else follows. All the good points for browsers are restrictions and standardisations, which are fully present in exemplary containers. I don't see how you can get vendor locked-in via docker or kubernetes, I can see how webkit and DRM can.
- tiborsaas 7y agoThere is no vendor lock-in if you use standard, battle tested web technologies with a few exceptions. If you use the browser as a UI platform, then OP is right.
- anderspitman 7y agoDRM video is a pretty big exception, and Google is already a de facto gatekeeper there.
- tiborsaas 7y agoThat was I was thinking about, but DRM is flawed anyways. I don't think there's anything on Netflix for example that isn't available on torrents or other file sharing methods.
