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...

iirc remote attestation is reliant on hardware attestation, which means these websites will only run on authorized DRM-enforcing hardware and architectures. Only Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and the like. No open-source firmwares, architectures or hardware.

It's important to remember they are only commercial efforts. If you can value something other than money it doesn't matter what the corporate web is doing compared to human ingenuity and the internet. Let them waste their time and money write their specs.

Normal people interact with the “corporate web,” because they feel compelled to do things like banking, buying stuff, etc.

Those normal activities like banking is a corporate service and I'm happy with it's regulation and it makes sense to be regulated.

Buying stuff is on a spectrum and I think a consumer should be able to chose a tightly regulated system for exchanging currency.

Most everything else should be free to choose.

E.g. McDonald's android app, at this moment. It doesn't launch on devices which fail Safety Net checks, i.e. modified firmware

I have been in the tank for Apple since the 80's. So no doubt I'm distorted but content.

Financial transactions could become so streamlined that a "commerce fob" is likely to emerge. That would be a credit card with a screen and buttons.

Think about how streamlined all these tasks have become. Putting those in a single ROM that has a screen and is tied into some legitimate network will emerge.

It is only out of convenience that these services are currently tied to a "phone".
