In this podcast, I chat with people fighting for a better web in their own way: accessibility experts, privacy advocates, developers pushing web standards forward, anti-monopoly voices, and people building alternatives to Big Tech tools. I hope you'll join me in meeting these inspiring individuals and hearing what it actually takes to build a more open, inclusive internet.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:17:55.873791+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190"},"episode":{"title":"The Browser Wars: Then and Now","slug":"the-browser-wars-then-and-now","published_at":"2025-05-09T13:38:50+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190/the-browser-wars-then-and-now","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forabetterweb/episodes/The-Browser-Wars-Then-and-Now-e32jv0q","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/fa587fdc/podcast/play/102414810/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-4-9%2F399921708-44100-2-fce0cfd2806fc.m4a","summary":"In this episode, Bruce chats with Gene Burrus, who formerly worked as Assistant General Counsel for Microsoft, working on legal compliance after the landmark Netscape anti-trust case, and now advises Vivaldi and others in the Browser Choice Alliance about how to stop Microsoft going back to its old ways.
