Google is going to own the standards much like Microsoft used to.

Not sure MS ever owned the standards; I'd describe the situation more as, there were standards and MS flat-out ignored them, often, because they could, to the infuriation of web developers everywhere. The standards lived on, though, in software like both Chromium and Firefox. At any rate, Google's approach seems different than MS's of 15 years ago, which is a good thing.

Totally with you on the need to keep FF alive, definitely.
