I find this tweet about how Google approaches web standards illuminating. To quote:

> 1. design a flawed API (it's fine! APIs are hard)

> 2. ship it in the most-used browser, despite objections

> 3. get cross-browser working group to fix the API

> 4. oops, too late, that would break the web

>5. Rally a group of developers and PR to bash Webkit as the only one not implementing those flawed API and name it as the new IE.

Too true. Not to mention that many of the APIs Google introduce are prone to tracking and spam.
