But they still contribute to google’s monopoly over web standards.

Do you know if ecosia is still using google under the hoods?

Interesting, it was a variation of embrace, extend, extinguish, without the extend part.

In a way, I think it happened to the entire internet. Look at browsers today, web development (that one might be controversial, but I think big techs somewhat forced bloated frameworks to be the standard way to create websites), video streaming, etc.

But what if the software has both options, to save and to download?

Not exactly. It can be confusing at first, but then you see that it’s a standard in most apps, and you’re fine. The most curious ones will look for more info and find the historical roots.

In other words, the floppy disk has meaning, just like most proverbs that come from ancient roots, but are still used and understood everywhere.

The unix/linux root directories are also good examples, perhaps dating even earlier.

If we create a post with the title “the frontpage of the internet” and upvoted all we can, would it appear on google results when people search for it? Used to work for reddit (or is just a meme and doesn’t work at all, I don’t know).

Why do I get a bad feeling about it? I hope wikipedia remains the same after that.

Besides… they ask so desperately for donations, so it makes me wonder if the project can be sustainable.

Maybe I’m overthinking stuff, let’s see how it goes.

In my experience, palemoon struggles a lot with modern JavaScript-bloated sites and becomes much slower to use. My suggestion is to use 32bit firefox.
