>> Users should be free to use whatever browser they want... > They are. Users are free to access sites that don't work on their browser? Sounds like a very desirable freedom to have... >> Most sites on the Internet... > That's covered by the second half of the first quoted sentence. Incorrect. The first half of the sentence that you quoted said "Most sites..." not Google's site. >> there's a marginalising, discriminatory element to it that I just can't agree with. > So, only users get to use new tech and developers are stuck with using whatever works on the oldest stuff? Sure - Developers can do whatever they want, but isn't everybody free to complain about it? How would you feel if tomorrow most sites (including Google) started employing some type of extremely annoying DRM and you couldn't access those sites at all without buying a completely new phone, computer, laptop and software for yourself and your whole entire company. Let me guess - you'll say "they're free to do that". Great. That's a very productive answer. Do you think anyone would be complaining about it? Probably lot's of people. So, what's the point of saying that "everybody's free to do whatever they want" other than to state the painfully obvious? Yes, yes, yes - all things being equal, people are free to do wtf they want. Yay!
