#Browser #Enshittification: no more #XSLT (= human-friendly #XML). https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1287 #Google continues their strangling of the #open #web - most influential was maybe killing the #Blogosphere and giving rise to the #corporate #platform #web by sunsetting their #Reader. Now another #monopoly is used to get rid of human-friendly xml documents. A thing many of people involved in the decision likely can't imagine and many people familiar with the corporate platform web won't miss. They're fine with a browser that can render animated #advertising and are not interested in documents which their attention span doesn't allow to read them anyway. Exceptionally sad, yet not surprising, is that Google is aided by #Mozilla and #Firefox in doing so.
