I feel like I’m going crazy since we kept preaching for years that this is the end goal and that this is what will happen with Google’s anti-competitive practices. Just get shit on in the comment threads until recently.
It’s not even a feel good I told you so because this just sucks.
It really is telling that even Microsoft don’t find it viable to maintain a browser engine.
The “standards” are an absolute fucking nonsense, and boil down to “just do what Chrome does because nobody can stop them”.
To be fair to Chrome.
Microsoft had the vast majority with Trident. Mozilla/Firefox slowly gained market share with Gecko. Chrome/Webkit* then took market share from both.
It’s not like Chrome just appeared one day and demanded everyone use them, they gained market share by being a good browser.
*(Chrome now uses a fork of Webkit called Blink.)
That being said I do think Firefox provides the best browser experience, and Chrome users should look into switching.
Which is a long way of saying Microsoft fucked up bad. Real bad.
Yeah, like Nokia-bad. Wait…
