There should be an open set of standards to allow users to select their search, travel, map, video, mail etc providers. You should get google mail results on bing search, Vimeo results on Google search, your travel bookings on any search engine or chat agent UI you choose.
Obviously we need to solve for all the security and cross border data issues etc etc. But we also need to bake in the UX innovations rather than just go back to the 90’s.
- trueismywork 3y agoRight? There's so much innovation in Open UX standards that being currently stifled due to monopolies.
- idle_zealot 3y agoThe issue then becomes: who is providing these services, and why? Currently most of these services extract value by controlling the UI their users interface with to include advertisements or limit features to reserve them for upsells. If users are free to interact with whatever service they want with whatever client they want then there is no longer space to monetize by forcing a bad user experience. This will collapse the most-used Internet services for mail, search, and messaging. So I guess what I'm saying is that it sounds great, where do I sign the petition?
- xnx 3y agoThe open standard is the url bar that can take you to any site if your choosing.

- mr_tombuben 3y agoThis article is about the click-through data from Google though, and an URL bar is not a search engine. To the point that all modern browsers just redirect you to a search engine when you write random stuff in the url bar.
