@slightlyoff@toot.cafe @jaffathecake@mastodon.social and I appreciate that, but hence the bit about “as an outsider”. I get to just vent and be unproductive.
But also: do we really think the Chrome team thought “yes, this is a good standard that will promote interoperability” given the feedback they already received before the I2S? So either: they didn’t care, or, their intent is questionable. Even assuming good faith, i can’t see how it can be anything else.
Add on to this the “track record” of things like cookie/ad tracking cohort thing a few years ago, change of Extensions to make uBlock not as effecting, it all adds up to making it hard for me, a random dude on the internet to believe Chrome has web standards interests at heart

@ash@icosahedron.website @jaffathecake@mastodon.social I hear you. Trust is hard to earn and easy to burn, which is why it's so important we API OWNERS don't LGTM proposals that don't have good evidence behind them. I'm still trying to understand the pro/con arguments here. Civil negative feedback does matter.
