Unfortunately today w3c and tc39 (Javascript) are completely dominated by Google who ram through a lot of standards while barely paying lip service to the process.

Unfortunately a lot of players who rely on browser functionality are completely silent in the standards committees (like the TV vendors who all run their apps in a webkit or chromium version), so it's barely a three-way tug-o-war between Google, Apple and Mozilla

And really barely. My impression is Chrome still innovates (though somewhat unilaterally), Mozilla sleeps (no clear path towards view transitions ...) and Apple sometimes contributes small quality of life things.

I’m still bullish on the possibility of Microsoft edge shaking up this dynamic a little, but maybe I’m naïve.

They did start https://open-ui.org which really deserves special recognition.
