How did this happen? Didn’t different browsers used to be, like, different?
10-15 years ago cross-browser javascript and rendering compatibility was a nightmare for web developers and chromium was free, popular/winning, and legitimately very good so it made sense to standardize on it rather than independently develop inferior engines
but now that it monopolizes internet browsing of course it has started to bloat and suck. let a hundred browser engines bloom
also i would argue that not enough was done to oppose scope creep in web standards. i don't agree that your web browser should be a platform for complicated applications that do more than deliver content and receive posts. even flash was a bridge too far.
yup true facts
also we didn't quite know google was evil yet
They said they weren't evil! Who were we to know they'd lie about it, what are they, the Chinese?? This is just like communism
I channeled a redditor for this comment
make sure you perform a thorough banishing to get that spirit out of your head
don't worry I just thought too many thoughts about how china stay winning and it fled in a seething rage
the power of socialism with chinese characteristics knows no bounds
