If you’re developing web sites that only run in Google Chrome, you are not a web developer, you’re a web destroyer.

@aral If you really mean it, develop in Firefox, and test periodically in Chrome and Safari. I had to do that, and had to do two different implementations of saving files coming in via WebRTC.

@mike805 @aral doing that.

Can't switch to FF because it is already my daily driver :P

Also: Here we go again 😩 Browser Wars Reloaded. This time the situation looks grim.

I think we're at the point where we'll have one corporate internet with Google's new website DRM and a distributed 'geek' internet like the old days before AOL. Which, in some ways might be an improvement over the current 'public pool' system.

I think this might be the first time I've read this, thanks for sharing it. It's definitely the next step, and he makes a good point, if you just stop going to spammy websites, they stop seeing you in their analytics and they eventually forget that you exist, as a customer. So their analytics and targeting gets increasingly dialed in to completely forget an increasingly larger group of people even exists at all.
