Against HTML5

I'm against html5 for quite a variety of reasons, one of them is that isn't an standard (or "living standard" as WHATWG says) but an eternal draft. Which only Google Chrome (spyware browser) can fully implement , leaving all other minor web browsers behind.

And the second is that while it exists, it harms the WWW as we know it , along with , say , JavaScript (websites are heavily infested with this nowadays) , and thus they render useless without it.

I use a modified variant of Luakit1 which is a browser configurable and extensible by Lua, it fits all of my needs, although if I actually browse for example , the ActivityPub social media platforms I have to use Falkon[2] because it crashes Luakit , also most of them require JavaScript enabled for them to work , and I just can't be bothered in whitelisting sites in the browser.

Back to the point , legitimately HTML 4.01 was the latest version of HTML itself , not HTML5. I use XHTML 1.1 on my personal website because I want it to work on literally any web browser , even the corporate ones , without issues. I just can't do that with HTML5 , because as mentioned before, it only gets fully implemented in Chrome.

EDIT : Apparently not even Chrome even can implement fully its own thing , lol3

The web as we know it may be just dead , or who knows?
