Agreed. I think it is a false dichotomy. I use the regular web for
banking, booking things, shopping, news, hackernews, blogs, price
comparison etc.

At the same time, I love mailinglists and email where my more high
quality discussion takes place.

Somewhere in the middle is mastodon and usenet.

I do agree though, that there might be a trend towards consolidation
onto Google Chrome and that Google would then run the future of the net.

I also agree that I try to buy more things in person, and that the
booking systems seem to become worse and worse, forcing me to have
multiple web browsers.

In terms of the future, I expect consolidation onto chrome, I expect the
majority to be more tracked and have less choice online, and I do expect
that people will be forced into digital ID:s and will be forced to own
smartphones, which proved to be so convenient for tracking and
controlling people during corona. Those benefits were too good for the
government to let them go.

That leaves me the problem of how to adapt since I do not own a smart
phone and I am paying more for certain things due to my not having one.

Interesting future for sure!

Best regards, 
Daniel
