When you deliberately ignore what Google is doing, every view that is not praising Google's take over of the web is skewed.
> So what, bugs can be fixed.
No. Not on the web they can't. Once it's shipped, people depend on the functionality. That is why we're stuck with so many crappy unfixable APIs in the platform.

And yet, they didn't cheer ActiveX. For some reason you assume that every single API Google pushes out is XHR, and not ActiveX

I am not praising Google. I'm simply pointing out that Apple is using abusive business tactics to prevent any competition. It's antitrust territory, and the DOJ agrees. I don't care which browser implements the APIs I need to access, so long as one of them does.

Just more skewed nonsense. This can and have been fixed on the web. I've had to reimplement countless APIs for all kinds of services. There are new APIs that make old ones deprecated all the time. Maybe you should try to keep up instead of stagnate like Apple is.

Just more bullshit from you. I'm tired of it. You aren't even attempting good faith arguments.
This pointless internet interaction is over.
