Or you could try having more empathy and being less done deaf yourself.
Users don't like when you take functionality away from them. This is an appropriate response to a proposal to break part of the web just to make things a bit easier for browser developers (who are meanwhile adding a gazillion other things that are much more complex and actively hurt the users interests).
As someone who is an open source dev (but not for anything this prominent).
Sometimes you have to remove features to make a product good. Its sad, but if your product includes the kitchen sink, its not a good product and drags everything down.
The users yell at me too sometimes.
The problem here is that the web is not Google's product but they are treating it as if were.
