Something the author doesn't mention as a pro for the web is my favorite type of tech: browser extensions. I love web because I can basically customize pretty much everything to my needs.

I have published a few of them in the last few years, and I have tens of them which I haven't published. I use them for tons of different things:

* allowing only text tweets on X

* blocking photos and videos on all Meta products

* blocking explicit content

* customizing exchange rates for online shopping (Argentine peso, you wouldn't get it™)

* having reddit hot as default for the home and subreddits (they been pushing the "best" for a couple years and it's actually trash)

browser extensions have allowed me to regain some of my cognitive sovereignty while being a heavy internet user.
