> I've had this bone to pick with Flutter, which is doing this imperialistic web takeover plan with CanvasKit, effectively turning the browser into a vnc session for an app. Incredibly hostile & deeply cruel way to snub hypertext & make yourself unintelligible to the rest of the ecosystem.

This is nothing new. We used to have Flash, after all. (And I doubt Flutter on web will come close to reaching the ubiquity of that platform.)

Given how the web is embarking a takeover of desktop via Electron and of mobile to a much lesser degree with Ionic, to the annoyance of many users, turnabout is fair play.
