I think the Youtube redesign idea is to use something like polymers or whatever they are called. They are a Google technology supported in Chrome, but since other browsers need to use some clunky and superslow javascript polyfill Chrome suddenly feels like the fast browser.
- dabockster 9y agoWow, this is evil.
- applecrazy 9y agoNot really. Other browser vendors can implement the standard too, which is called Web Components. fyi: It's generally considered bad practice to assume bad intentions when alternative explanations suffice.
- jklein11 9y agoI don't think that assumption was unfair. The way that the previous comment was framed, Google implemented this so that other browsers seemed slow. Those intentions seem pretty evil. With the framing of pushing browsers to implementing the Web Components standard it seems much less evil. I think the true motivations are likely somewhere in the middle.
- vim_wannabe 9y agoIt's still a draft i think.
- ehllo 9y agoyou're right, they used Polymer and Material Design for the frontend in combination with the spfjs framework, which was introduced in 2014. https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/05/a-sneak-peek-at-youtubes-new-look-and.html https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/05/a-sneak-peek-at-youtu... https://github.com/youtube/spfjs https://github.com/youtube/spfjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNe_HdayTtY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNe_HdayTtY
