E.g.: https://twitter.com/marcosc/status/1207512288938192896?s=20 … Consider: 1.) Moz killed WCv0 & knifed imports in Q4'14 2.) All (Google, Apple, MSFT, Mozilla) agreed WCv1 by Q4'15 3.) Chrome shipped v1 in Q4'16, Safari in Q1'17 4.) Mozilla didn't ship until *Q4'18* 5.) Edge finally getting WC w/ Anaheim launch

Chrome team re-engaged on v1 design in '15 under the presumption that Mozilla circa '14 objections were good-faith and that everyone who showed up to re-litigate v0 design would keep faith with users waiting for the new stuff and implement in a timely way.

We'll have full coverage come the Anaheim launch, but nothing was gained for the delay. Engine diversity is a s good as it's fruits.

Different browsers, different priorities I’d say. Why is Chrome lagging behind in privacy so much? When will it finally catch up and be less user hostile? You can twist and turn this however you want, different people value different things in the web platform.

Chrome also never bothered with an AOT asm.js engine, for example. I thought Chrome adopted AOT asm.js optimizations as a stopgap for larger changes! Shame, I guess Chrome isn't a leading edge browser :-/

I'd say what the web needs is companies and browsers respecting their users privacy. Chrome is falling behind.

Multiple leading engines competing at a fast pace isn’t possible. No one will spend to keep up with google because they have no reason to.

Indeed, when Netscape's shareware license was $39 there was indeed an incentive for browser makers to innovate. Alternate browser engines perhaps have other priorities when you can't expect payment for your browser any more... https://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/mygsb/faculty/research/pubfiles/1196/mosaic_case.pdf …

Isn't the issue here that *leading edge* kinda depends on individual perspective?
