It&amp;#x27;s almost good enough for most companies. They just need a little something extra so that they can &amp;quot;own the experience.&amp;quot; But soon the browsers will catch up and then websites will be able to own your experience, too.</text><parent_chain><item><author>pbhjpbhj</author><text>Do you know PPK and his work?
