Google basically controls the "standards" now, and it has the resources to keep churning them endlessly while spreading propaganda about how much better the new features are and how everyone should use them --- because they're only implemented in its browser.

There are perfectly capable HTML4-level browsers like Dillo, NetSurf, etc. and a bunch of similar projects on GitHub (under elaborate yet non-browser descriptions such as "HTML viewer with CSS support".) If only people would stop drinking the Goog-aid and unnecessarily "app-ifying" sites, maybe we would have more browser diversity... after all, the majority of sites I use are from the "document web" and not the "application web".

Edit: downvoted for talking against Google, interesting...
