People here really can't just accept a win
A win is when we have forced them to abandon the wretched plan. Them taking it elsewhere with a different name, only to be brought back in the future isn't a win - it's more or less the folly the Trojans committed with the Greek wooden horse.
It's a much less broad, though. That's a win right?
I don't trust Google's word that they will keep it that way. Besides, would you have accepted this proposal if WEI wasn't proposed first? It's a form of manipulation.
Sites inside webviews can already communicate with the app running them, I don't see how this proposal in this form causes any additional problems
The same can be said about WEI on browsers. Just wait till it becomes a problem - only problem is that you won't be able to escape it at that point.
Except websites can't just communicate directly with the OS like they can in webviews
I'm convinced people on Lemmy just want to be miserable all the time.
We have won the battle, but the war is not over. If one is tired, he or she could employ escapism. But don't blame or poke those, who don't do that.
