Only a matter of time when Chromium operating subsystem start to be incompatible with Firefox.

So, all those years creating "web standards" are for nothing, as turned out with too many standards no one is able to implement them, leaving only one existing browser to still operate. We won't even know if websites are compatible with a standard anymore, because Chrome interpretation might me different from any other.

Oh it was for something! It allowed Google to take over using Microsoft's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" philosophy.

What Google is doing now is exactly what Microsoft did back in the Netscape Navigator / Internet Explorer days.

Web standards are the literal opposite of that. You're arguing against the web itself.
