The same can't be said for the design, interpretation or implementation of the html spec.
Open standards can also fall to paralysis of design by committee. Still, open is good (AV1 is also cause for optimism).
When open standards aren't possible or happening, innovation is undertaken by private companies.
I like wasm, but this unabashed overstatement completely ignores smaller browsers. Best of luck getting elinks to commit to wasm support.
The major browsers in marketshare.. being Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft are all on board with wasm.
Is there another thing you can find they agreed on to this degree relative to market share?
The wording of your comment makes me wonder if you know a bit more about wasm, particularly with smaller browsers (I am a fan of Opera too), so please feel free to share the smaller browser perspective.
IE3-4 was probably nightmare to work with :)

I feel we will repeat some of the mistakes thanks to webassembly, but I'm not saying it shouldn't be the direction we are heading to. Luckily thanks to the open nature of developing these specs the process is more balanced between parties than ever.
