Many such cases. Remember when the Chrome team seriously thought they could just disable JavaScript alert() overnight [1][2] and not break decades of internet compatibility? It still makes me smile how quietly this was swept under the rug once it crashed and burned, just like how the countless "off-topic" and "too emotional" comments on Github said it would.

Glad to see the disdain for the actual users of their software remains.

(FWIW I agree alert and XSLT are terrible, but that ship sailed a long time ago.)
