Re: A Reader Friendly Browser

Matthew’s Space

The problems of the web can’t be fixed with HTTP and HTML. The ultimate sin of the web is that it puts publishers in control over presentation, which allows them to deprioritize UX (user-experience) in favor of things they care about more, mostly SEO and ad clicks.
That’s why we need a new protocol that sheds these fundamental issues the web has. A protocol that combines the user experience of something like an ereader with the openness of the web. Where a publisher could have a direct relationship with their customers, charge them and take all of the profit, but in a way where the customer has guarantees over UX and ownership of the content they purchase.

We had that dream, in the early 2000s. It was called

The Semantic Web

But the dream died, either from an overdose of RDF, or it was murdered by Facebook and Google.
