For A Better Web podcast with Alex Moore (Open Web Advocacy)

This podcast series follows Bruce as he interviews people from across different communities and industries who, in their own way, are fighting for a better web.

Bruce’s victim this time is Alex Moore, co-founder of Open Web Advocacy. We discuss why web apps still barely work on the iPhone, the rule that forces every browser on iOS to run on Apple’s engine and quietly limits what web apps can do, and the five year regulatory fight, spanning the UK, EU, Japan, the US and Australia, to change that. Alex also walks through the moment Apple tried to kill web apps across the EU entirely, and why he thinks Apple’s privacy and security arguments don’t hold up.
