Yeah, people call me stupid, but I have been complaining for a while about Google using its market power to bully standards that only benefit itself.
The one I got flac a lot for was the https thing. Like yes, https is good, but it also ads an often unneeded layer of complexity for small time web stuff. It also makes it slight a pain for local stuff since you can’t https an IP, it needs a domain.
On top of that, it harms one of Google’s main ad/tracking xompetitors, ISPs. Now, we can debate if tracking is good or not (its really not), but beside that point, Google has a zillion other ways to track you, ISPs, less so, they are not embedding tracking pixels and shit or backdooring your browser history. And Google gets to kneecap them by penalising anyone not using https.
They tried to do the same thing to other competition by pushing to kill cookies, but backed off. Once again, is tracking good or bad? Not the debate here. But Google tracks you other ways, many of their competitors in the ad space use cookies. Or track traffix on their networks (ISPs).
Tracking good or bad is debatable, but lack of competition in pretty much anyspace is bad.
