The "open web" only barely ever existed; MSIE killed it and Chrome is just a better weapon in the hands of a next generation monopoly.

- yepthatsreality 6y agoThis will bounce back. What happened is that you have a large percentage of people who chose not to advance their computer skills. Instead they "mastered Microsoft Office suite" for a bullet point on a resume and were presented the internet as a suite of websites. These people are our peers. However as more and more people are taught about coding and networking we will see a demise in the size of the former and the embrace of the open web again. They will be advertised the web as a platform for networking services and products. Of course this all will take place by stopping Google and other corporations from monopolizing the web with help from our locked-in peers. ;)
