Presentation summary:
Blockchains promise a world where applications can't be controlled by a small number of individuals. However, as of 2022, the vast majority of people access blockchains through the use of intermediaries such as exchanges or so-called "RPC nodes", which are able to censor or even hijack this access. The solution to this: browser-embedded light clients, which allow bypassing these intermediaries by directly connecting to the blockchain, and aim to be completely transparent to the end user.
