So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API: Mozilla: Opposed WebKit: Opposed Microsoft: Several concerns W3C TAG: Several concerns Developers: Mostly negative Chrome: Ships anyway. A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloud…'

FWIW the prompt API is not a web standard, nor is it claimed to be one.

The former - sure. The latter - not sure it's info that needs to be emphasized in developer blogs. The important thing is how to use it and expectations re stability. Devs can make up their own minds and give their own feedback. prior objections are publicly available if they search for it.

It's always a documentation bug, eh? 😁

Laughs aside, many of these problems are around setting the right expectations, and documentation is a central mechanism for that.
