Obviously, a private company can do what they want and they shouldn't be forced to make their code run on other platforms.

- dathinab 5y agoNo, IMHO they should be forced to comply with web standard and at least try to work with browsers they don't support first class. (Microsoft simply doesn't allow you to open any of their web apps, weather it's for teams or some of their other apps.) Especially if it involves quasi monopolies. I.e. the it's a quasi Monopoly of chrome like browsers spear headed by Google and Microsoft.
- read_if_gay_ 5y agoI agree, I should've made clearer I was being sarcastic. The quasi-monopoly thing is often ignored when it comes to Big Tech silencing voices.
- dmitriid 5y ago> No, IMHO they should be forced to comply with web standard The problem is that they ram whatever internal Chrome APIs they want through standards bodies and call it a standard. Others just can't keep up: https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence
- dathinab 5y agoMaybe I should have called it "industry web standards" to explicitly exclude "google forced web standard"?
