Wouldn’t that be Chrome? The ubiquity leads to lazy developers testing only on it. Maybe some fancy SVGs saying “Best viewed on Chrome!” To really rub it in :)
HA! Chrome absolutely SUCKS at displaying SVGs. I rarely use them and I've already found two stupid bugs.
One super weird one (probably too much caching) where an animated element in a <use> clone didn't inherit colours while its non-animated siblings do. This one is fixed now.
What isn't fixed yet is that `filter: hue-rotate(90deg)` applied to an SVG child element doesn't do anything (in firefox it does), is a pain in the ass because SVG filters, while more powerful, are much harder to set up.
Pick some other phrase for "most popular"
Yes, Chrome does this too.
It's slightly better in that it tends to submit them to standards bodies after implementing them, but most of the time that's WHATWG which is a much less democratic body than others, and mostly Google-led. Either way Chrome's market monopoly leave competitors with little choice in the standards process.
