You forgot this link Jeremy twitter.com/jaffathecake/s… That picture implementation was the first. It was testing out an idea and feeding back into a spec. It wasn’t developers having a whip-around because the parent company of the browser offers their users no other choice.

It absolutely was a whip-around. If a browser maker accepts crowdfunded contributions, great. But then to later mock other browser markers for also accepting crowdfunded contributions? Not great. adactio.com/notes/18783

It was a whip-around, but read the bit after “because” 😀. I don’t think it’s the same, but also I do think Chrome could have done better here.

It’s really not a good look when you’re pissing on other browser makers shipping something, especially when the behaviour you’re mocking is only nit-pickingly different from your own empoyer’s behaviour. And by “you” I don’t mean Google. adactio.com/notes/18784

I feel you’re deliberately avoiding the bigger picture here twitter.com/jaffathecake/s…

I’ve already seen the film version of this conversation

Or even the fact that @igalia published six possible work items across all three major browser engines. It wasn’t about funding WebKit, it was about pushing the web forward. igalia.com/2020/08/11/Ope…
