Seems like it's not meant to enable tracking so much as to improve its performance and UX, as the article demonstrates. (Google tracks clicks from Firefox users just fine without ping, it just does it in a more annoying way.) Also probably worth noting that the W3C doesn't maintain an HTML standard anymore[1]; the WHATWG standard is the definitive one. [1]: https://www.w3.org/html/ https://www.w3.org/html/

The fact that google made some aspect of their website behave better in chrome than in firefox is not really an argument that firefox is doing it wrong so much as yet another example of browser wars 2.0

Improving performance for tracking is enabling it. We should fight to get rid of tracking, not making it more performant.
