      It made things massively faster. https://developers.googleblog.com/2019/08/the-speed-benefit-of-amp-prerendering.html … At the time there was a massive threat that user activity would move entirely into native apps, and AMP providing competitive UX had a small part in making that not happen.

      I still hear of a huge threat from native apps, even with AMP and its search “tying”. This threat seems not obviously true as stated, or solvable by counting APIs added to the web platform. It seems more about OS upgrades & better CSS special forms. I don’t mean to belittle it. +

      In my experience, there is always a threat. But this doesn’t justify tying or other power moves that won’t get into standards and which finally have antitrust cops on the move. From 2010 on, Parkour, Polymer, etc., to Fugu, the threat and response seen to shift but not deliver. +

      Good progress has been made but more via incremental work that does make it cross-browser sooner than later. This enables adapting to lessons learned and emergent knowledge, as well as to hardware & network shifts foreseen poorly or missed. Can we de-escalate from emergency talk?

      It's an emergency. We've been steadily losing on mobile and too many are acculturated to the pace of loss.

      Lots of folks are happy to retreat into privilege and desktop. OK. But that doesn't make it less of a crisis if we want the web to be meaningful in the lives of most users.

      Some people are happy to give up. That's fine too. But they shouldn't be policing accurate language or misrepresenting the work we've done in the open and through standards to improve things.

      Are you saying I gave up, rly? It is not language policing to point out that emergency rhetoric from Object.observe/Scoped object extensions 2010 on has actually backfired, both as rhetoric and on technical grounds? We need accurate diagnosis before emergency Dr. Google surgery.

      Since then, the CPU trends did every we feared and web use on mobile cratered -- in part because the web has depended too much on JS to be usably fast.

      Mozilla was on track to help developers close the capability gap (via proprietary FFOS APIs, but direction was right); need both fast and powerful enough (and installable + discovery) to compete
