That's an interesting approach. Early days on this one, it clearly requires further work but it seems like the proper path for math related problems.

With the latest rulings Google feel like the ecosystem might escape its grip... So they plan to tighten it.

Unsurprisingly this ecosystem keeps being more and more closed.

Here is another point of view on the XSLT situation in the WHATWG. Clearly the process needs to be made clearer. I'm not necessarily convinced by everything which is brought forth in this piece, still nice to have different point of views on it.

Or why the XML roots of the web are important to keep in shape. I'm not necessarily in love with how verbose XML is, but it's been a great enabler for interoperability. That's indeed the latter reason which pushed Google to try to get rid of it as much as possible.

There's clearly something tempting about a web index somehow separated from Google. It always felt like a natural monopoly and so a type of public service.
Now that push arrives a tad late so the impacts are unclear. Overall I still think this would be a net positive if there are more web search companies built onto such an index.

Are we surprised they'll keep processing personal information as much as possible? Not really no...

This move is really unsurprising... It's bound to become another channel for advertisements to try to cover the costs of running it all.

Interesting story... when you end up turning to v8 having a bug in the field, you're really in trouble.

Another example that on such ecosystems you're not really owning your device. Seek alternatives!

A good reminder that everything they buy they turn it into a surveillance system indeed... This time under the pretense of security.

A good reminder that this is not the Google Chrome alternative you're looking for. It's the same privacy invading mindset with some bigotry on top.

It's really time to get as many people as possible out of those toxic ecosystems...

Of course it sounds complicated to break Google up... but that's not the point. It's about avoiding its monopolistic position, the fact that it's complicated is just another symptom.

Yes, please let's increase the market share of non-Chromium based browsers.

Interesting guesses at what could change with the Google ruling. It doesn't look too good for Mozilla.

Apparently this needs to be spelled out for browser providers to understand this needs to go.

We're still fairly dependent on just two major web indices... time for an index built as a common for everyone to use?

No, your model won't get smarter just by throwing more training data at it... on the contrary.

Looks like Flutter's days are counted. It seems it has peeked and announcements like this are likely to move people away from it. Time will tell of course.
