How does the protocol Google chooses to use on its private intranet at all put pressure on the IETF to accept that protocol as a standard? The chrome argument

How does the protocol Google chooses to use on its private intranet at all put pressure on the IETF to accept that protocol as a standard?
The chrome argument at least sort of makes sense, but I really don't get how the network transport that literally no one but Google can see threatens IETF irrelevance.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoI think you misunderstood what I was saying here. Google's control of both Chrome (client side monopoly) and Search, Gmail, etc. (server side monopoly) together under one entity is what enables Google to define Internet protocols on a broad scale regardless of what a standards body thinks. I agree with you that how Google servers talk amongst themselves has no relevance in Internet standards.
