While the actions of each company can be questioned in different cases, I definitely agree that Apple is dragging the web down with gusto. Google is pushing the web forward without getting everything right and Microsoft is gradually righting the ship.

Thank god for Mozilla. Throughout the whole story, they have consistently been the best actor. They don't always have the resources or the marketing push or the or the brand recognition as the big players but for better or worse their actions are usually centered in what's best for the community.

Speaking of Safari, this frustrating issue I encountered a while ago exemplifies your points pretty well dev.to/ben/safaris-implementation-...

I tend to more or less enjoy Google but just some ideas that came to mind,

  • Web Intents (dead)
  • Web Share (is here and has room for expansion but can only share text)
  • Filesystem API (fantastic idea, dead)
  • Custom Elements (has a v0 and v1)((v0 is dead ))
  • .WebP (Chrome only)

I applaud Microsoft for making Edge. Bold, daring, and overdue.
