> completely abandon the browser rendering path and have everything render into a canvas

Yeah, go ahead and trash the little bit of accessibility we still have. <canvas> by itself already asks webdevs to shit on people with visual disabilities. But getting rid of the DOM (for vague reasons) would really nail the coffin of these pesky blind users. After all, why should they be able to use anything on the internet?

This, and AI making webdevs consider to obfuscate things for scraping reasons, and Microsoft Recall making devs play with the idea of obfuscating OS-level access to their (privacy-sensitive) apps, which in essence would also trash accessibility, are the new nightmares that will haunt me for the next few years.

Unfortunately this is how Flutter web apps work.
