Well that was the endgame here. Our beloved overlords now control the tech, policies and 'privacy' of the Web. They're the ones proposing the 'standards' they want and control the direction of the browsers they have. It's either Chrome, Firefox (Gecko) or Safari (WebKit) / Edge (Chrome again). There is little choice here for the users.

We all know this is not true; nobody is _forced_ to play by their rules.

I could make a frameset page today, all browsers still support it. I could make a strict xhtml 1.0 page, browsers still support it.

Stop using Google-agenda driven features, and they'll perish.

(Remember how FF went against the monopoly of IE6? It's doable.)
