This example would work better if they were pointing out an addition that really sucked.

Yes - google has been pushing web forward with QUIC and many many other elements.

Seeing Microsoft and other pushing back on something like toast (IE was a crapshow of stupidity for developers) is ironic. toast is going to be welcomed.

The problem is that microsofts additions are things like clippy or cortana in windows which few people want. Seriously, look at windows 10 and the cortana addition (forced in many cases) and ask -> did users WANT this, do users LIKE this.

Toast is going to be picked up happily. If microsoft tries to jam Cortana down IE users throats they are going to be in for a rude surprise.

The reason for google's dominance is in part because of how seriously they have taken the browser.

Obviously YMMV and anecdotes isn’t data, but nobody I’ve seen here on HN cares about <toast>, and everyone seems to consider it more bad Googleism.
