This person is kinda right but also kinda wrong. I think Peak Web has passed when we entered the 2010s, about over the point of the hill of 2012 to be specific. What we accomplished in feats for the web, has pretty much dried up. Social Media is running in place now and it has been for a while. In fact, there's nothing new you can do it on now than you could in the time period this blog post picked.

Because in 2006, you had messenger programs, on the go. You had your MySpace, Facebook was a thing too. You could already surf the web on your phone then. Sure, I'll accept the argument that things got increasingly better over time as newer devices came out, standards got more ironed out and vice versa. Which makes me re-route to the year I think we peaked, in 2012. Nothing from that point could really get any better. Things instead, just took questionable detours based on the idea of "we shouldn't do this...but we're gonna anyways".

Oh and the browsers of today? Pffft, they're a joke. Firefox is desperately trying to shove in it's own tools and now it's own VPN, but do nothing about it's performance issues that have stemmed from 3.0. While Google has been doing quite a job, dismantling everything that once made them great to use at a time and has become nothing but a brand anymore.
