I don't think these are permanently gone, but the corporations failed us, and also the "not for profit" fakers such as Mozilla.

We need a new web - one developed by the people, for the people. Whenever corporations jump in, they try to skew things to their favour, which almost always means in disfavour of the people.

We tried with gemini but nobody jumped on
