This website is ran by Google and mostly serves to promote their proprietary web technologies[1], and to sell web devs on some of their bigger and often times more questionable changes.

They already made some vague announcement about FIDO recently, so this is obviously part of the same campaign. A campaign cannot exist without a target/goal, meaning Google is up to something!

1 (edit): Which I'm totally fine with, but they could certainly be slightly more transparent about it



Nothing mentioned in this post is proprietary. Everything here works cross browser.


Yes, I was only indicating the affiliation and possible non-obvious agenda.

Imagine BP or Shell were operating a website greentechtoday.peace without this relationship being very obvious at all, and an article about some specific technology appeared on that website and was linked here on HN.

Personally, if I weren't aware of the affiliation I would appreciate for it to be pointed out to me - and so I'm doing exactly that for others here.
