TALKS
MC
The talks will be MC'ed by the delightful Bruce Lawson.
When Are Third-Party Browser Engines Coming to iOS? & Fixing the Mobile Web App Ecosystem
Browser Engines: The EU opened iOS to third-party browser engines but years later, users still don’t have them. Where are they? And when are they actually coming?
Web Apps: Mobile web apps barely register next to native apps. Why is the web still being held back on mobile, which platform restrictions matter most and what has to change for web apps to compete properly?
Loathsome Choices
Ask anyone, and they'll confess to the same problematic relationship to their phones we all feel. How did we get here? And why is true browser choice a linchpin in any credible effort for reclaiming control? Some thoughts on the political economy, developer incentives, and the necessity of policy advocacy in reclaiming our information ecosystem.

Building consensus amongst the browser and web community on what good looks like for users that want to transfer their data between browsers. A call to action for browser implementers and web enthusiasts.
