But today, this is irrelevant as the "web" was stolen by blackrock and vanguard big tech companies. It was sneaky and malicious: A "web engine" became grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex, and that includes its SDK (yeah, a c++ compiler is even worse) and only very few can actually "work". Only google and apple provide "for free" web engines: blink and google financed geeko (firefox) from google, and webkit from apple. The only way to build those is with gcc (~MIT) or clang/llvm (~apple). And you call that digital freedom? Those are digital digital chains. The only way out is hardcore regulation with noscript/basic html browsers and simple but able to do good enough job protocols, and that stable in time (for instance irc if there is a text chat).

The cure sounds worse than the disease..

"Oh no, all this complete free and open source software exists but it's complex". Gemini exists, gopher exists, and it is completely possible to make websites with no JavaScript. You're demonizing Firefox and MIT and calling their output digital chains. It's fair to say that is a fringe opinion. Let's get angry that TCP is complicated, too. How many open source TCP stacks are there? And Ethernet! Only one cable standard. Who is behind it? Xerox!
