I'm "railing" against the platform itself. I've had a web browser and a broadband connection since the late '90s.
Unwanted popups still happen. Cross-site-scripting attacks are still a thing. Canvas fingerprinting is still a thing, albeit a newer one. Sites I visit can still track me across other properties unless I jump through a number of hoops. Content creators are still largely not being compensated for their work. Half the sites I visit are practically unreadable for me, and my eyesight is pretty damn good.
The big companies like Google or Apple could have stopped a few of these races to the bottom in their tracks--just like Jobs did to Flash--but they haven't, for, umm, reasons...
