Back in 2014, I built some very flashy interfaces using Polymer components just for fun. Fast forward to 2021, and these pages are completely broken. They don't even display the text that I wrote.
I'm guessing that the depreciation of HTML imports is why they don't work anymore.
It was depending on Web Components v0 stuff that was enabled in Chrome before it was ready.
You may find that the component does still work in Firefox (which never implemented the stuff that Chrome eventually removed, and for which Polymer included polyfills).
Also, my hobby horse: HTML imports were removed, not just deprecated (or depreciated). Two (three!) very different things.
If the pages worked in Safari and Firefox then they would still work in Chrome now. The only pages that would have broken are those that didn't load the polyfills at all.
It was a bad situation which I hope is never repeated.
