For a while I was ambivalent about Chrome dominance, my line of reasoning being "well they're still innovating, it's not going to be like it was in the IE days".
My mistake was in assuming that IE dominance was only bad because it wasn't innovating.
What we seem to be developing now is a kind of tunnel vision, where, to your point, we simply assume that Google is the web and the web is Google.
- Godel_unicode 8y agoYou're thinking about this incorrectly; don't worry when Google does propose new standards, worry when others don't.
- jsight 8y agoI'm not sure that there is a difference in your two scenarios. We wouldn't think "Google is the web and the web is Google" if we were seeing a similar string of innovations coming from Firefox and IE. This will only be bad if the others aren't innovating.
