@dalias @enron that monoculture is the result of Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft infighting while at the table of the w3c.
When none of them could agree on common things, Google ramrodded many of their ideas through. Many of the APIs that we criticize Google for were proposed by Mozilla for Firefox OS, then taken up by Google, who went and implemented them such that Chromium’s process model was the only valid way to implement it.
You now cannot be standards compliant without being Chromium.
