Not really. Would you take webdev advice from a company where their own apps are memory hog/leaking garbage (Gmail)? At some point you need to call a square a square.

Yup. It’s a company that routinely breaks the web, pursues its own standards at the detroment of others and and will prioritize things like AMP over any of its own tools.

#163Talk about breaking the back button! Do a measurement on a website. Then click one of the Guide links like "Links do not have a discernible name". Page navigates away from the report to some documentation. Click back, report is gone. I get it, it's a single page webapp. But if you do that you need to make all the simple navigations open new tabs. There is a "open link in new button" icon next to each link, but that's…
Ah yeah that's something we want to fix. If you're signed in it keeps the report around but if you're signed-out it's stateless. It's definitely on our to-do list to fix.

This is sort of representative of web.dev vs the rest of Google.
Read the rest of the comments, seriously. I would be very discouraged to release this web site when the rest of the company is vehemently opposed to any of the practices listed there.

Google's pagespeed service is hot garbage. You can do things that make the page load significantly slower and get a perfect score than if you had a lower pagespeed score with a much faster page load. I also find it strange how I can get an A on every other page speed service, including GTMetrix, but get an F on Google's tes(s). Totally useless.
I agree it's not perfect! But my view is that if they(Google) did the effort todo pagespeed, then lighthouse, then integrate lighthouse in Chrome.. and now in a separate website... Some of the metrics must be import for your rankings/site - even if only indirectly (slow site etc)

Re: Web.dev by Google
#168ICANN were foolish to go down the new TLD root. Why should Google have ownership over web.dev, and not mozilla (MDN) or w3c?
And lets not talk about .Amazon being given to Amazon (the company) and not Amazon (the rainforest).

Even Google.com doesn't fare too well by their own standards. https://lighthouse-dot-webdotdevsite.appspot.com/lh/html?url...
