Really? One less thing to worry about

Glad my business isn't primarily SEO. I imagine I would be pulling my hair out!

Thank god its gone really!

It was an unreliable ranking that people could base value of the websites on for link selling. now they might have to do some proper checks to actually see how much the site is worth!

I heard that it's still alive and kicking but they've just changed the API for it. Which means all the 3rd party tools (browser plugins, etc...) are just querying the wrong URL.

I also heard on the grapevine that you'll soon be able to drop vendor prefixes for box-shadow, background-clip, border-radius in your CSS.
