Great argument for zero accountability to users and everyone else impacted by decisions of browser vendors. You don't seem to be aware that the W3C has been chugging along, publishing real web standards that do get implemented, for years - or the actual roles of W3C and WHATWG in the standards process - so just stop.

- bawolff 4y ago> You don't seem to be aware that the W3C has been chugging along, publishing real web standards Including most recently standards that are basically a way to give a thin veneer of respectability to crypto shit (e.g. DID) To be clear, i am not saying everything w3c does is totally devoid of value. They have done useful work. But its still an org that generally makes bad standards that are rarely followed. The recent bitcoin stuff is shit and basically not a standard. The historical standards are also often terrible, especially when you step away from html (you can't possibly read XMLSignature and think any of it is a remotely good idea). As an org, its riding almost entirely on the coat tails of HTML, and now that that is gone, what is the point? > zero accountability to users Has w3c ever done anything at all that actually helped users over browser vendors? Things like P3P that aren't implemented don't count.
