Read this article with quotes from Ben Galbraith about how seriously Google claims to take the open web.
@dalmaer is there any chance we're going to get some concrete action? Like maybe a commitment to stop shipping chrome only sites?

I believe that Chrome has taken the lead because it offers the best web experience for users and developers, and a I believe that the case is very different from IE6. Google is usually the first browser implementing standard, has the best dev tools, etc.
-
You sure it has nothing to do with them telling people to use chrome on the world's biggest search engine? And if it doesn't, why do they do it?
-
Obvsly, I'm not naive, they try to get the handle because that's where the money is, but I believe the case is nos comparable since Chrome is bringing innovation and is a good product overall. IE6 was a bad a product and it wasn't standards compliant.
-
IE6 was standards compliant *when it shipped*; the issue of IE monoculture & Chrome monoculture are different and both were/are problems
-
“When it shipped” and then?
-
IE6 not staying up to date & web sites keeping up with Chrome rather than open Web standards are different issues; doesn't help to conflate
-
the verge piece has a bad headline that's an easy joke that actually hides the real problem by confusing it with a different issue
-
Totally agree. IE6 stagnated, Chrome destabilizes. Very different problems.

Tooling is what makes 10x devs, I think people underestimate how much Chrome’s dominance is due to them having the best dev tools.

Came across that earlier today. The "works best in chrome" is the best interpretation of "don't be evil", but in practice it has been "this only works in chrome".
