especially on iOS where Apple conveniently restricts things like push notifications for web apps Apple implemented it after the outcry few years ago, but guess what, time-critical webpush never worked on google.

I don’t think there is a way forward, we’re at the end game. Full anarchy harms regular users, full walling gives bigcorps nice leverage. Even faced with choice, most users will choose safety over freedom and privacy, because maintaining safety in tech is risky and costs time/money.
