And if I want to use links on z80?

And aside from niche platforms, do you want the 3 big companies to decide what you're allowed to see on the internet?

More like Links on a 486. If this happens, I won't use anything else but IRC, XMPP, NNTP, Gopher and Gemini.

I think you may have misunderstood my comment, which was disagreeing with the parent comment.

I do not want those companies (or anyone, really) to be able to decide what is or is not an allowed hardware/software setup to access anything.
