Hopefully not. There shouldn't be a "dominant" browser in the "market", there should be a huge mess of choices available. If there is a "dominant" browser, corporations will cut corners and target it directly. They shouldn't be able to get away with that. Browser diversity means they cannot afford to single out users as irrelevant and unworthy of support. They should have no choice but to support them all.

- badsectoracula 2y agoWell, one way to read "forced to not cut corners" is "forced to increase cost" :-P
- bee_rider 2y agoIf the cost of web development goes up, either websites will be more expensive, or they’ll just have to be less complicated. We’re hoping for the latter.
- matheusmoreira 2y agoThen let the costs rise. If that's the price of our freedom, we'll pay it gladly. We don't want some corporation taking over everything just because of they offer a cheap and convenient bargain. Accept that and next thing you know you're but a serf in their digital fiefdom.
