    That creates a chicken-and-egg problem: browsers won't adopt it unless it's popular. It won't be popular unless browsers adopt it.

    Chicken-and-egg problems create usually-insurmountable barriers to adoption.

    That hasn't been true for years. Browser vendors are pushing new features that they want or think will be helpful. Here are some examples: https://github.com/WebKit/explainers

    See also all the Twitter threads of people getting angry that Chrome implements something before it's standardized.

      The browser owners are happy to implement things that help with lock-in, such as Login with Google, Pay with Apple, etc. That's how we got where we are today. That's not chicken-and-egg for them, that's investment. Distributed systems that avoid lock-in need a different plan.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
