That attitude is what allowed Internet Explorer to become the dominant browser. What are you going to do when Google gets bored of supporting Chrome and disbands the team, leaving your web pages tied to a stagnating browser?

The whole point is that AMP works on all major browsers as they exist today. Waiting for a new standard and then waiting for Apple to implement it is a non-starter.
- kuschku 9y agoSure, just like Google Earth works on any browser, or Hangouts, or ... Google's always only supporting competing software just as much as absolutely necessary
- lern_too_spel 9y agoGoogle might make web apps that work in only one browser, but publishers won't publish in a format that supports only one browser. That's why Microsoft, Baidu, Yahoo Japan, etc. also have AMP caches. On the other hand, using the web package standard as the ancestor suggests would currently trap you to Google.
