The next platform shift are obviously DRM locked closed app platforms like TikTok, ChatGPT, Meta ecosystem and Apple apps. No APIs, no freedom.

Everyone is very actively working on making the browser dead and serving you content exclusively via corporate controled apps on locked platforms.

You can kill off Chrome, but the result isn't going to be a renessaince of Firefox, but a move into your content being only available on locked iPhone.
