Eh, for once I don’t think I agree with Doctorow. Replacing native apps with web apps is just swapping an oligopoly of mobile platforms based on proprietary APIs for an oligopoly of browser engines based on a Red Queen’s race of keeping up

Maybe if you said "more general", but TLD is definitely "more specific " (which is why co.uk is not considered a TLD). Referring to TLDs as extensions is a telltale sign of someone who is semi-technically literate enoug
