Alex Russell added,
Definitely not worse than IE11. And yes, there are those of us out there mandated to still support IE11
Absolutely worse than IE11, because Windows isn't web-hostile. You can change browser on Windows and that can be a meaningful choice. On iOS, it's Hotel Cupertino -- you can check out any time you like, but you'll still be using gimped WebKit.
When competition is undermined at such a fundamental level, progress takes only the courses the keepers find profitable.
Hm... I hear you, but also there enough ‘chrome-only’ google experiences that have cropped up that argument feels a bit hollow.
But in principle I hear what you’re saying. But like all things - we have to follow the money. Google’s interest in the web is fueled by ads. Hence the investment.
This doesn’t make webkit’s deficiencies go away. But it does explain them.
Advancement in the web isn’t advancement unless we all go together. And this happens through establishing standards.
Absolutely, which is why I've served as Chrome's standards lead for the past 5 years. We drive more work in the open than most other teams combined and have process in place to help ensure it's collaborative. We're not perfect, ofc.
On the chrome-only sites thing, I (and my colleagues Shruthi and @DasSurma) worked to get a company wide goal to prevent this and constantly work with teams to improve browser support from Google properties. We really, really value these principles.
That’s good! I think we all want to see a better web - even the folks at Apple. Let me maybe pose this as a question : would WebKit keeping parity be enough for you?
It would surely be an improvement. But a lack of true competition has been easy enough to hide this far that I don't have faith other mechanisms will endure.
