The way Chrome works especially in the past many years is 100% correctly described by the comment you were replying to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33989349

You "counterpoint" isn't even a counterpoint, but just reinforces the original comment.

It literally says in the actual document about Page Lifecycle API: "It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track." https://wicg.github.io/page-lifecycle/spec.html

Literally not a standard shipped in Chrome, literally is something Chrome came up with and implemented on its own, literally only shipped in Chrome without any consensus or input from other browser implementers...

And yet "no, this isn't true, this isn't how Chrome works at all".

Is this true for 100% of things that Chrome is shipping? No. But it's so asymptotically close that the difference doesn't matter. They ship 40 to 70 new web APIs in each version. That is, 40 to 70 new Web APIs every month. Over 500 new APIs a year. How many do you imagine they even pretend to be a standard? https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence
