There's nothing wrong with companies driving industry standards. That's how it works in other industries as well. As long as they're not there to purely benefit Google or implemented in a way that other browsers cannot replicate, I don't see the problem.
- Bootvis 4y agoOrder matters, did they try to find consensus or did they just go ahead and implement something? The latter doesn’t lead to standards.
- izacus 4y agoConsensus with whom? Other companies who just take the work they do in form of Chromium for free and repackage it? Or the other one browser that's barely relevant due to years of mismanagement?

- gerash 4y agoConsensus from Microsoft who repackages their work as Edge and profits off of it by setting Bing as the default?
