GoKawiilHow web standards get rewritten when Chrome, Firefox and Safari quietly diverge from spec
A discussion between Igalia developers highlighted cases where major browsers implement identical behaviour that differs from what the official web specification states, and the fix applied is often to change the specification rather than the browsers. The piece traces this back to the Web's origins, noting Tim Berners-Lee developed HTML, HTTP and the first browser simultaneously in 1989-1990, so specs and implementations evolved together rather than one preceding the other.
