The web is not dying, it is being killed. And the people that are killing it have names and addresses.

Google needs to be broken up.

No personal attacks, please. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

You can make your substantive points without that, as most other users in this thread have been doing.

You may not owe web-destroying $MegaCorp better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

Shame on all knowledgeable people that happily keep using Chrome and giving Google money. That make the web more centralized by giving more and more power to entities that benefit from this like CloudFlare.

HN is full of people that are indirectly helping to push these changes forward. You're preaching to the choir, and the choir is too lazy to switch browsers or learn how to configure a web server, so they just shrug and carry on.

Currently development and standardization occurs in the open, on GitHub and elsewhere. When it's decided that's no longer possible, I hope you realize that this kind of targeted harassment is what led to its demise.

Thank you.
