If Chrome shipped with opt-out UI option to disable janky scrolling, would it be any better?

Web is not a static target. Being afraid to break things gets you a decade of Flash websites. Things that are important will be maintained, and things that aren’t… well good riddance.

Personally, I think we are way past due HTML6. A sort of Vulkan-like platform for Web[1]. HTML5 should be build on top of this next-gen low level platform. That’s the way forward if Web wants to remain competitive. Otherwise in 5 years we’ll all be writing Android Instant apps.

Houdini + WASM combo has the potential to be (say it like Trump/Bernie) HUUUGE. I think it’s really exciting.
