    Project mention: XSLT RIP | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-10

    I'm strongly against the removal of XSLT support from browsers—I use both the JavaScript "XSLTProcessor" functions [0] and "" [1] on my personal website, I commented on the original GitHub thread [2], and I use XSLT for non-web purposes [3].

    But I think that this website is being hyperbolic: I believe that Google's stated security/maintenance justifications are genuine (but wildly misguided), and I certainly don't believe that Google is paying Mozilla/Apple to drop XSLT support. I'm all in favour of trying to preserve XSLT support, but a page like this is more likely to annoy the decision-makers than to convince them to not remove XSLT support.
