The underlying concern is that Google is in a position to dictate. They control most phones and most browsers and the most popular websites. Any standardization is pro forma, because what matters is what Chrome/Android/google.com does, and not what the standard says.
An emperor can build trust by relinquishing power.
- mariusmarais 6y agoWhat you're proposing as a solution has already happened: Google relinquished their control over this protocol to the IETF, where it changed so much as to be incompatible with Google's original. Now they're updating their own deployment, making it compatible with the updated standard. Chrome/Android/google.com is literally changing what they do to match what the standard says.
