Is Apple stifling progress in Web standards?
Honestly, not yet.<p>Apple might one day be fairly accused of holding up web standards, but so far they're still at least 80/20 implementing new proposals. It might be unpopular but it is actually the responsibility of browsers to somewhat govern what standards do or do not move forward.<p>For example when IE decided not to do WebGL due to security concerns and then successfully got the standard altered as a direct result [0]. That was what browsers are meant to do. That's what Apple does in some cases too, however their primary focus appears to be battery not security.<p>[0] (end of article) <a href="http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/why-microsoft-decided-to-put-webgl-into-internet-explorer-1167110" rel="nofollow">http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/why-m...</a>
