> because the monsters who make browsers removed support for it
Most browsers never implemented it in the first place. Safari, Chrome, IE and Edge never had it. In terms of current browser names, it was only Firefox and Opera that ever had it, until 2013.
IE was holding back the progress even before Chrome and Safari were a thing.
Huh, I would have sworn that Internet Explorer had the blink tag at one point, but I think my parents had Netscape and then Mozilla pretty early so maybe that's what I'm confusing it with.
Regardless, I stand by my comment. Monsters! I want my browser to be obnoxious.
