Google has confirmed plans to implement Web Monetization in Chrome, allowing website owners to receive micro-payments as tips or rewards for their content as an additional way to generate revenue.
In other words: Google selected a non standard tag again. It’s a W3C draft, but not a standard yet: webmonetization.org/specification/
Google is not following standards, and than W3C has no other way just accept the standard, as it’s already implemented by the majority of browsers… Whose decision is which standard to accept? Google or W3C? Will Google remove the tag if the W3C selects a different tag as standard? Or the internet is just another Alphabet Inc product line?

I like the idea. A simple button to transfer 10ct or 1€ or, say 5€ to whoever made the content I just enjoyed, together with a display of my spendings this month.
I don’t like the idea that it’s Google doing it.
