    So basically they’re using their monopoly to force through changes in internet standards? Sounds like the EU will be paying a visit soon.

      My dude, do you even understand the technical details of WEI or are you regurgitating what the Internet has told you? Have you read the spec? They are not forcing anything. Nobody has to opt in. It’s not even available outside of Android and right now it’s only being used for Google’s own products (Google Play Services specifically)

      Please don’t talk like you know what the deal is when you do obviously don’t

          Ah yes, I remember that time when the Internet stopped allowing gifs, jpgs, and pngs. Now Firefox crashes whenever it tries to load an image other than a webp because Google made them /s
