Web developers and Google's own apps are increasingly diverging from open web ethos by optimizing for Google-developed standards that first ship in Chrome
“Chrome is turning into the new Internet Explorer 6” is an excellent warning about the risks of single-browser development. We need to guard against this dangerous trend. http://www.theverge.com/...
Yep. And it's ridiculous, especially for a company that claims it wants to “organize the world's information and make it universally* accessible and useful.” * Whereby ‘universal’ we mean everyone probably downloaded Chrome already https://www.theverge.com/...
“That often means Google is the first to ship with these standards, because the company has been advocating for them. Mix that together with a lot of developers using Chrome for web development and the issues are obvious.” https://www.theverge.com/...
I don't agree with this viewpoint, but it is an issue. Problem isn't so much that Chrome is bad in any way, but more that their cadence is insanely fast and no competing browsers can keep up - web devs would rather use the newer stuff http://www.theverge.com/...
Consider it your duty as a fan of the open web to use another browser than Chrome, at least part of the time. It's disgraceful of Google to release Chrome-only sites. Don't reward them. http://www.theverge.com/...
“Chrome now has the type of dominance that Internet Explorer once did, and we're starting to see Google's own apps diverge from supporting web standards much in the same way Microsoft did a decade and a half ago” / via @verge: http://www.theverge.com/...
