What's awful is that I, or you, or anyone else, cannot take the web specs and implement a browser that correctly displays websites that are following those standards. To correctly display every website I have to make backroom deals for big $ with companies.
- acdha 9y agoIsn't that basically the same? In the past, you could use the W3C standards to build a browser which would display everything except plugin/ActiveX content. Now you can build a browser which can display a higher percentage of content, including audio and video, except DRM restricted material. This seems like an exceedingly fine distinction between the web as it works in theory and as it has actually worked at any point in its history since the number of browsers exceeded 1.
