As an outsider to this whole process, it feels like you deliberately use language that positions Google as a savior of the web (trailblaze, etc.) as an excuse to may just do whatever you want. That may not be what's *actually* going on, but those are the optics.

Like, you also said "the people who love HTML can't imagine it being better," which is patently false but pushes your own agenda.

It would be foolish to claim that I *don't* think the web is under threat -- it very much is -- and I understand why folks without access to the same data, or who work in firms form whom the web is a legacy stack -- aren't as motivated.

But to your implicit point: do you really think the easy way to get promoted at Google is to work on web stuff? I hope the day comes when that's true, but it hasn't been the *last* decade.

I cannot state this clearly enough: I don't think YOU have nefarious intent, but Chrome is still a Google product that exists primarily to collect web usage data.

You're implicitly claiming ill motives of my co-workers that I don't accept.

Coworkers in the broader sense of Google as a business entity at an executive level, sure. Coworkers as in "the people you actually work with," no.

I don't think you or the Chrome developers want to spy on people to sell ads. I think Google Leadership sure as shit does.

That's literally Google's whole business model. To deny that is... I dunno, you're a smart dude.

We (mostly) monetize search ads. If there's a conspiracy, it's the omnibox.

Chrome also collects data on every page people visit, doesn't it?
