This bit was interesting.

  bool Quirks::requiresUserGestureToPauseInPictureInPicture() const
  {
  #if ENABLE(VIDEO_PRESENTATION_MODE)
      // Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit will naively pause a <video> element that has scrolled out of the viewport,
      // regardless of whether that element is currently in PiP mode.
      // We should remove the quirk once <rdar://problem/67273166>, <rdar://problem/73369869>, and <rdar://problem/80645747> have been fixed.
      if (!needsQuirks())
          return false;

      if (!m_requiresUserGestureToPauseInPictureInPicture) {
          auto domain = RegistrableDomain(m_document->topDocument().url()).string();
          m_requiresUserGestureToPauseInPictureInPicture = domain == "facebook.com"_s || domain == "twitter.com"_s || domain == "reddit.com"_s;
      }
  
      return *m_requiresUserGestureToPauseInPictureInPicture;
  #else
      return false;
  #endif
  }

The first rule of browser development is "forget the standard, forget consistency... If it's popular and works in other browsers but not yours, your browser is broken."

Might as well create site-specific browsers.

It’s getting closer to the point where we call the entire current “web” a Google-specific network, Google Chrome is renamed a “Google” browser instead of a web browser, and we re-make a new interlinked network which does not require one specific company’s product to use. (Never mind an advertisement company.)

The “Google” network and sites can be kept on as a necessary evil proprietary service, like Facebook is for many, and also LinkedIn.

Would be cool if the Tor network filled that role.
