I remember back when IE was the standard, and the majority of webpages where broken messes because Microsoft didn’t care about standards and only had their own interests in mind. Then Pheonix (now firefox) came along and pushed for a positive change, Then Google came in backing the movement full force with Chrome, it seemed natural to think that Google cared about the web, cared about developers and cared about the users because they where dealing with a problem central to us all. But apparently the problem they saw was not incompatibility or broken pages, the problem they saw was just that Microsoft and not them where in charge. Now we are back to the same situation with Google breaking the web much more actively this time even because they are coopting the standards bodies, and they just don’t care about anything but their own internal development. “We broke your website on a major browser but really that’s your own fault for not redeveloping it with our newest api’s every 8 months. And obviously we’re doing the right thing, just look at this video with 36 likes!”
It’s time to abandon Chrome if you love the open and stable web. The power has gone to these devs mind and they’ve gone from unintentionally disruptive to actively destructive.
