And this highlights how Google and the Chrome ecosystem is strangling web tech. The fact they were afraid of making a move that isn't in lockstep with Chrome means Chrome has too damn much influence.

Decade-old versions of TLS are flat-out bad for users. TLS 1.0 is from 1999!

The points of standards are to get the entire industry to adopt them. When the browser vendors come together and agree to all do the same thing, that's not one vendor flexing its muscles, that's standards working as intended.

lots of text files being written in ascii, for example, and 'ASCII is from 1963!'

Time to get on the ball and upgrade to Latin-1.

That may be too difficult. These things take time.
