The decline of the mobile web?

Im not entirely supporting the idea of Chris Dixon  explaining the end of mobile web. In my own opinion,  traditional browsers still have a major role, for example, in the relationship between social networks and news content. And, even we these graphics, we can not forget the importance of personal computers.

However, I think that the following quote is relevant to all of us, as citizens, using Internet to be informed and to share ideas in an open and free way:

 

“Apps are heavily controlled by the dominant app stores owners, Apple and Google. Google and Apple control what apps are allowed to exist, how apps are built, what apps get promoted, and charge a 30% tax on revenues. Most worrisome: they reject entire classes of apps without stated reasons or allowing for recourse (e.g. Apple has rejected all apps related to Bitcoin). The open architecture of the web led to an incredible era of experimentation. Many startups were controversial when they were first founded.  What if AOL or some other central gatekeeper had controlled the web, and developers had to ask permission to create Google, Youtube, eBay, Pay.”
