I very much hate the phrase "move forward". Moving the web forward aggressively - to where, what is the destination? This is a never ending journey, so there is no point in being "fast".
Google certainly deserves a serious backlash from its users, otherwise we are doomed (already?)!

Such things you can do when you have secured over 50% market share. For the simple reason that websites, and by extension competitive browsers, are pretty much forced to do things "the Chrome way". This also further promotes that websites continue to use UA sniffing and strengthening the Status Quo. Add to that the fact that Google has a heavy hand in today's writing, editing and approving of "standards" and spec changes, and you see it becomes difficult to do anything about it.

Most people simple do not care even if all sites will break. Many even asure that facebook and google are the whole internet and no other existing. So if you care you can cease use of google and trash chrome spyware.

If you make sites avoid scripting, use it only if is impossible todo work and absolutely necessary. slider and other embellishment not needed at all.
