Could you please confirm it using caniuse.com? I don't see red squares often in the “Chrome” column there (only some really ancient versions).

Isn't that Chrome's entire game? Keep developing new APIs into standards even before they are standardised such that everyone else is always just trying to keep up. Advertise these new APIs to web developers such that new websites only work well in Chrome.

What is wrong with this approach? They are not breaking the standards as IE did. It was the only issue with IE.

What is an alternative - always wait while some API is implemented by other browsers first? It's not their fault they are faster.

Disclaimer: I have ZERO relations with Google, Chrome, or Chromium.

Take this perspective: The less boxes in a row, the less complex. Can I use is biased towards feature creep.

If not supporting a feature (in terms of not having it, not half implemented) would count and this would be visually faire represented, what we be your choice?

I’m not choosing a browser here, I’m saying that Chrome is not repeating the most fatal mistake of IE: implementing many APIs in their own way, often very different from the standard. Until recently, Safari was repeating the IE approach, but right now it looks like they turned to the road of sanity.
