The author argues that http/2 is bad because it can serve ads faster, because it has Google's fingerprints all over it, and that gives an unfair advantage to big companies, so the solution is to have external reviewers approve stuff. She seems unawware that there are elements other than ads in web pages, or that there are widely used open source versions of the entire HTTP stack. I realize this sounds like a caracature but read it and see for yourself. It's only seven pages. R's, John
