Eh, for once I don’t think I agree with Doctorow. Replacing native apps with web apps is just swapping an oligopoly of mobile platforms based on proprietary APIs for an oligopoly of browser engines based on a Red Queen’s race of keeping up with ever-evolving standards and de-facto standards that are already too prohibitively massive to allow for an independent implementation to emerge. I’m not seeing that as much of an improvement, especially given how Mozilla have been behaving lately.
