Wow Chrome really is the new IE. Developers are really shooting their future selves in the foot by only developing for Chrome. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want a web (de-facto) controlled by a giant ad company.

Chrome is forced upon us by the same developers that frequent this forum. Chrome is bad, but webdevs that keep developing Chrome only sites should get the biggest share of the blame.
At the risk of getting downvoted by the Chrome fans, shame on you for pushing forward the Google agenda and its monopoly over the Internet. I guess testing on Firefox or Safari is oh just so hard.
I'd be willing to stipulate that the testing isn't hard. It's the fixing of the quirks when they arise that is the hard part.
I know it will "burn" me one day but having the first one being Snapchat for Web makes me feel a little good.
How could Mozilla be so naive to sit on Google's money to let them propose for DRM standards, privacy violating APIs and suffocate Firefox into irrelevance? Mozilla did that to themselves for years and now they are crying.
Today, Firefox has become extremely irrelevant and totally overtaken by the Chromium derivatives and Safari. The best part is that the users do not care and companies like Snap will favour the most used browser and that is Chrome.
That there is the hard fact of the matter and the web just went from one behemoth (Microsoft) to another (Google). As long as those companies are sitting on the W3C dictating the direction of these web standards, the so called 'open web' is a myth.
