Again, how can it be a proprietary web if everything is open source and available to every other vendor?

Not sure if you remember all the "native" applets that actually were proprietary before Chrome came on the scene and made JS fast enough to kill them... ActiveX, Flash, Java... Those were the dark ages, because of Google the web is more open and better than ever...

More like there were actually multiple vendors that would have to agree on a common thing, but they died out so the single leftover can do whatever it wants...
