Well perhaps W3C's official site would rank higher if it actually offered any tutorials, i.e. the thing people are searching for, as opposed to a list of specifications and draft specifications that won't be finalized for 10 years.

In any case, "W3" is just another representation of 'www', which the W3C doesn't have any kind of claim over.

OpenAI isn't open. W3Schools is unaffiliated with the W3C. The world keeps spinning.

That's optimistic, optimistically. It's a group of ivory tower academics with no stake in any browser implementation acting like they have any right to tell actual browser implementors how to behave.

Well, I totally prefer that, than letting Google decide by themselves

Have you ever had academics that have nothing to do with you, your company, or your product, tell you how to do your job?

And besides, what makes you think Google listens to them?
