The web is no longer a quiet place where you could pop a page, read a story, and close the tab without a second thought. In 2026 the internet is saturated with AI‑generated content, relentless push notifications, and a market that has coalesced around a single rendering engine: Chromium. Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and even the newer Arc all sit on the same Blink‑based foundation. That homogeneity brings convenience—websites only need to be tested once—but it also creates a monoculture where a single corporate decision can ripple through the entire ecosystem.
