I love you and I won’t take no for an answer

Apparently next week we should have some idea what is happening between the company I work for and another company who I may soon work for. Disadvantaged third party has said that if our two companies meld it will spell the end of the internet as we know it, and that they will fuse into a super saiyan with a power level so high they could name the new company after the large number itself (oh wait).
The more I think about this, the more I like the idea.
One company owning the internet would mean there would only be one browser that they would dictate everyone use. Instead of the six browsers I have to test my work on today (soon to be nine!), there would be only one and all web applications could easily conform to its standard.
One company owning the internet would make it easy to silence dissenters and people who just need to shut the fuck up already. They could stop stupid internet fads before they start spreading.
One company owning the internet would consolidate duplicate services so you do not need to be signed into five different instant messenger protocols at the same time, or have accounts on multiple social networks (I assume anyway, I have no real idea). And only one social bookmarking site so you would not have fucking rows and rows of “Oh please give me free SEO!” buttons everywhere you go.
One company owning the internet would mean there would be a single sign-in system that could be used across all websites meaning I would not need to create another fucking login and password everywhere I go online any time I want to do anything.
At this point I do not care who takes over any more, just someone please come in and oppress us all. I cannot wait much longer.
