Web standards are the formal, non-proprietary standards and technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web, ensuring a unified and accessible online experience. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), founded in 1994 by [[tim-berners-lee|Tim Berners-Lee]], plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining these standards. With the rise of web development, web standards have become increasingly important, promoting best practices for building websites and web applications that are compatible with multiple browsers, devices, and platforms. As of 2022, over 90% of websites use [[html5|HTML5]], a key web standard. The adoption of web standards has significant benefits, including improved accessibility, enhanced user experience, and reduced development costs. For instance, [[google|Google]] and [[microsoft|Microsoft]] have both endorsed web standards, incorporating them into their respective browsers, [[google-chrome|Google Chrome]] and [[microsoft-edge|Microsoft Edge]].
