I am old enough to remember banks and many sites shovelling windows to your mouth because they only work in IE. No, Chrome is not the same.

At work I have to use web applications that literally do not work in any non-Chrome browser on a daily basis. Nothing has changed.

Except Chrome itself is open-source, cross platform and runs almost everywhere, not to mention multiple forks and other browser implementations around it.

I am also old enough. It’s very similar, lots of things don’t work on Firefox on Safari and mandate Chrome.

The base OS is far less relevant than it used to be, so it’s far less relevant that Chrome is merely an inner OS.
