A necessary addendum: don't take this out on the WebKit team. All of these decisions were made far above their pay-grade. They want a web that can work just as much as you do. Yes, they're Apple employees, but just as oppressed by this as the rest of us.

Ok, but Google is hardly on my side either. Every choice the Chrome team makes has to be filtered through the lens of “does this advance an advertising centred web?”. And yes, I’m sure individual developers (and evangelists) want what’s best, but it’s above their pay grade right?
