Read this article with quotes from Ben Galbraith about how seriously Google claims to take the open web.
@dalmaer is there any chance we're going to get some concrete action? Like maybe a commitment to stop shipping chrome only sites?

Obvsly, I'm not naive, they try to get the handle because that's where the money is, but I believe the case is nos comparable since Chrome is bringing innovation and is a good product overall. IE6 was a bad a product and it wasn't standards compliant.
-
IE6 was standards compliant *when it shipped*; the issue of IE monoculture & Chrome monoculture are different and both were/are problems
-
“When it shipped” and then?
-
IE6 not staying up to date & web sites keeping up with Chrome rather than open Web standards are different issues; doesn't help to conflate
-
the verge piece has a bad headline that's an easy joke that actually hides the real problem by confusing it with a different issue
-
Totally agree. IE6 stagnated, Chrome destabilizes. Very different problems.
-
I agree with the IE6 parts. What do you mean with Chrome destabilizes?
-
Chrome changes stuff fast and often; nice for devs who play with stuff, bad for getting devs to treat web as an open platform
