    in sustaining the health of the web ◦ The web exists with web pages created by developers that work on every browser ◦ Fundamentally speaking, the share of browser X increase if web pages only support browser X • Developers should follow the stable web standards ◦ By developing web pages that follow the stable web standards ◦ By reporting a bug that is incompatible with the stable spec
  9. 1 3 Possible approaches from browser vendors? • Vendors should

    reduce the complexity of web standards ◦ By keeping APIs at lower level to delegate the complexity to applications ◦ The complexity makes it difficult to implement a browser from scratch • Vendors can try to fork existing browsers (Chromium, WebKit, Gecko) ◦ Browser diversity is okay as long as it follows stable web standards ◦ The problem is who pay for the cost of maintaining web platform
