Nowadays the spec mostly is "whatever Chrome does".

Firefox has often been forced to just conform to Chrome behaviour, despite differing specs, or because the spec was rejected/not agreed upon.

We're back to good ol' days of "Internet Explorer is the spec". It's just made by Google.

    and the code (at least a large part of it in the form of Chromium) is Open Source. I don't think it's as bleak as people make it out to be.

    • Chromium is basically everything important anyway; Chrome is some sprinkle on top (I think some DRM stuff?)
