The Dominant Browsers

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-07 13:43

The reason Firefox/Chrome/IE/Safari have no competition, is because difference between them and hypothetical "great browser" is too small.i.e. they're not shitty enough to switch.
Once however people get fed up with major browsers, they'll start seeking alternative, allowing a time window where another browser can be popularized(the catch is the browser must be done way before that to compete, before any popularity).
So the hypothetical "next great browser" would have to be maintained for years, until its moment to shine - this doesn't sound like a great motivation for commercial development, making such projects only of concern to amateurs who want to change the web.

what about w3m-mode tho, the greatest browser there is?
* usable
* lightweight
* integrated in your editor where you spend all 17 of the autistic hours per day on the computer anyway
* NO BLOAT, no JS, no CSS, no binary files

NO BLOAT, no JS, no CSS
Then its in no position to challenge the dominant browsers.
The key idea is understanding that a typical user wants a website to work, instead of making a browser where websites don't work and hoping people start making websites compatible with your autistic ideas, you first get a browser that works as All dominant browsers(EMBRACE), then you add functionality that allows the web to evolve in a certain direction(EXTEND), gradually supplanting the functionality you don't want (EXTINGUISH), allowing it to be relegated to legacy and then abandoned as deprecated or turned into an optional extension that gradually becomes incomparable with your vision of the web.

normies aren't switching from one browser to another

they're switching from a browser to apps instead, abandoning the web and browsers entirely

look at mobile app vs. mobile web usage statistics
