> Why would anyone want to do this if it only works on one browser?

Chrome is at least as dominant as IE 5 & 6 were. The only reason that you're not hearing constant screaming about the near-monopoly (indeed, most of the screaming is abusing Apple for not just "doing what Google says" in the browser space) is because for some reason people think that the monopoly is good when an advertising company is doing it.

Sorry, 63% of browser usage is dominant, but not a monopoly by any means. The web is just as accessable on other browsers.

95% on Desktop being Chrome, CEF, or forks of Chrome is quite a bit higher than your number.

Only on mobile is it less, and only because of iOS Safari

So? The web works just as well on other browsers. I swear this community would have tried to break up The Beatles because they had a "monopoly on music". Chrome is not a monopoly, it's just popular.
