Why did Google select someone unknown to announce this?* It's also the second time I've noticed Google had someone the UK introduce an unpopular proposal to Chrome. The other one was removing the URL from the address bar (accusing the author of You Don't Know JS of being "Trump-like" for how he disagreed with him in the process). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-wB1VY3Nrc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-wB1VY3Nrc https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1272777814891266049 https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1272777814891266049 https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1275030931577896962 https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1275030931577896962 Is there a corporate special ops team?
Of the FAAMGs my favorite is Google, but this makes me reconsider my position.
* I won't even say relatively unknown, he has 8 followers on GitHub. Simply unknown to the dev community.

- benatkin 3y agoGoogle must love Brexit. I guess that in the UK people feel distance from the devs in the US complaining about this. And the company is more comfortable with the legal situation in the UK than in the EU.
