As often happens, Alex Russel pushes an agenda. And that agenda is, invariably, "Apple bad, Safari bad, put Chrome on iOS".
1. All charts on the page, except one, are doctored to show greater disparity than there is. No charts except one start from zero.
Example:
"In line with Web Platform Tests data, Chromium and Firefox implement more features and deliver them to market more steadily. From this data, we see that iOS is the least complete and competitive implementation of the web platform, and the gap is growing"
Reality: the chart starts at 4 800 and ends at 7 600
- Chrome implements ~7 600 APIs
- Firefox implements ~6400 APIs
- Safari implements ~6200 APIs
Not that bad, is it? Moreover, if you look at the trends, Firefox and Safari converge whereas Chrome is running away.
And the reason for Chrome running away is, at least in part, is in the next item on the list:
2. Chrome rams through "standards" implemented by, and implemented for Chrome regardless of any objections from other browser vendors. Note the plural in vendors.
This website lists just a sample of APIs that both Safari and Firefox consider harmful and will not implement them at all: https://webapicontroversy.com/ https://webapicontroversy.com/ Chrome ships them, of course.
