I’m not sure about WebGPU, but WebUSB was pushed through by Google without any regard at all for Mozilla’s and Apple’s concerns, so it’s not too surprising it’s a Chrome exclusive.
- pjmlp 3y agoSo it isn't as well defined as the parent was making it. Thanks to Chrome worshipping, there is no Web anymore, Apple is the only wall preventing Web developers to replace Web with ChromeOS on their CV.
- politelemon 3y agoThat is not true, two harmful environments does not make either one a saviour, they are simply making web development worse.
- pjmlp 3y agoSorry to break it to you, without Apple, Google would have won already. Doesn't matter how good or evil they happen to be. No one cares about Firefox, apparently not even the large majority of HN folks.
- toyg 3y agoEven if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it doesn't need to be my best friend. Apple is as bad for the web as Google. They refuse to allow other engines on their mobile, money-making OS.
- Klonoar 3y agoYou have completely missed the point they’re making to you: that refusal, however bad, is the only reason Chrome is not overwhelmingly dominant.
- toyg 3y agoI know that, but this is often spun as a positive for Apple and it's not: it's an accidental side-effect of their own anti-competitive stance. If anything, it works as a fig leaf to Google's monopoly. Apple should stop their stupid policy, open their platform, and instead make it plain to antitrust authorities that Google needs reigning in.
