It isn't just "make ad-blocking (near) impossible" as the current title of the submission suggests. It is:

Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers.

Make browsing the internet possible only on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS (no custom Android distributions, definitely no LineageOS or GrapheneOS or whatever). No competition allowed in Operating Systems, especially no open source operating systems.

Make crawling the internet possible only to Google. No private crawling and no competing search engines.

Let me know if I've missed anything...

Definitely seems like we will have a commercial internet run to satisfy corporations and an adjunct internet that is federated and open for free thinkers. I think focusing on federated publishing tools is the best route around these ideas.

Remember the corporations will need to be more disruptive than a nuclear war to break the internet. We can always route around them ourselves.
