Chrome also has some of the best dev tools built in.

Is its a point of view only in people that are to young to have lived the debacle of IE6 years ? Or do some senor devs actually think testing in chrome only is ok ? Cause I read it more and more, and I find it very alarming. If this becomes a trend, we are going to live in pain all over again.

It's painfully obvious that we're heading that way.

In a way Safari[0] and Apple's tight-fisted control on iOS is a blessing because no matter how much developers gripe about Mobile Safari (for plenty of good reasons mind) they damn well have to test the sucker.

[0] despite being "the new IE" to people who have no understanding of what it actually was and why it was a problem.


You would be right if it weren't for Chromium.


I wonder how much that is distorted by the aggressive preloading that chrome does and by android (since testing chrome on desktop and mobile is not really the same thing)?
