Comment on Microsoft now thirstily injects a poll when you download Google Chrome

  That just proves my point. A proposal made in public that many people oppose, vs. Microsoft simply releasing browsers that ignored existing standards and forcing people to deal with their shit.

  You may think that this web environment integrity idea is terrible, I do, but it’s not actually in any browser yet. There’s time to push back on it. There are other browsers which are not going to implement it.

  Compare that to IE where suddenly websites would break because Microsoft released a new browser and just stomped all over existing standards, forcing people to rewrite their websites.

  There’s just no comparison in the level of evil between the two companies.
