    It's so frustrating how the chromium team is ending up as a gatekeeper of the Internet by pick and choosing what gets developed or not.

    I recently come across another issue pertaining to the chromium team being not budging on their decisions, despite pressure from the community and an RFC backing it up - in my case custom headers in WebSocket handshakes, that are supported by other Javascript runtimes like node and bun, but the chromium maintainer just disagrees with it - https://github.com/whatwg/websockets/issues/16#issuecomment-...

    Really appreciating bun's ability to set custom WebSocket headers.

    Incidentally, what's up with the resistance against this from the standards maintainers? [1]

    The request exists since 2017, there are tons of use cases and developer interest, but implementation is refused on technicalities. What gives?
