So, when MS crippled web development for years with it's browser strategy and proprietary crap it was widely considered very harmful for the web. Now, when Apple does it, it's "pushing the web forward"?
We would all use ActiveX controls and be stuck with IE6 if everyone would think like you.
And i would argue every company would get the same "hate".
Even worse, we've all had this in the past, now we should do everything to keep things a standard and open, because we know where it leads.
Your comment betrays an extreme misunderstanding of vendor prefixes and the nature of standards development compared to a proprietary system of browser plug-ins. See other comments on this page. And it wasn’t ActiveX that crippled web development, buster. It was the lack of progress and support for emerging web standards like CSS2 and PNG. By contributing to standards, the Webkit team creates the exact opposite effect of IE6. (Accidentally upvoted)
