That's fair, it was hard to condense the gist of it into a few words. I think (hope!) the opening paragraph is a good summary of what it's actually about, though: > Here’s a theory: browsers, by sheer force of adoption, become the standard bearer for every domain of software they touch, even usurping incumbent standard bearers. As browsers become more capable, this is encompassing a large fraction of software standards. In a certain sense, (nearly) all software is now web software. In this sense “web software” is broadly meant in the same sense that software that deals with Linux standards might be called “linux software”, and the point of the article is the surprising amount of influence browser developers have over software (and even hardware) we don't usually think of as being “web software”.
