This cannot happen on an individual level. We need to take the internet standards writing process back into the hands of citizenry. The hacker ethos is long dead and all technical bodies have become negotiating tables where giant corporations divvy up their turf.
- zokier 6y agoAnyone can write internet standards. Nobody can force anyone to follow any particular standards.

They have plenty of precedent of going their own way, establishing it as the way the web works, and then getting the standards written retrospectively to cover it. (Not singling out Chrome here - most of the major browsers have done this at some point.)
