The ecosystem was great and now it’s gone. Because they were not just clients, they were third-party clients , they were second class citizens. The more second class citizens we have on the web, the worse everyone gets. Because a random

Do we talk about “alternative” browsers? No, because there (still) is no “official” one, there’s (still) no single governing entity. Just standard protocols anyone is free to implement and join the party. See Mastodon – there is a kind of

All these alternative frontends, hacks and crutches are a sad testament to the state of the web.

Practically speaking, none of the security risks involved have anything to do with the Czech Republic – it’s a safe, modern European democracy with data protection laws better than US.

You could, but then you are losing what I think is the main point of TF – describing what the infra should look like and letting the tool figure out what the necessary steps are for reaching that state.
