We're about to enter into a "post-web" era if the tech giants get their way. Smartphones were the first attempt to redefine and capture computing (and are an area where we desperately need antitrust enforcement). Now we'll see AI search and AI chat attempt to circumvent people from finding and using websites.
Mozilla has been rudderless for a decade. They're not going to fix this. The leadership is collecting paychecks being Google's monopoly sponge - distracting the DOJ from antitrust action and refusing to actually innovate in the places that matter.
Search needs to be reigned in. Mobile needs to be reigned in. The coming era of AI chat and search will probably also need a regulatory framework to prevent just a handful of tech companies from owning everything they touch.
