For me, this pretty much tells me that Google Hangouts is scheduled for deletion :( I do understand that some google services work only on Chrome but certain systems need to be cross-browser / cross-platform to become successful. For example, in early days MS Word could save documents into WordPerfect format - not because MS liked WordPerfect but because that was the easiest path to conquer the world. So as soon as a product starts dropping support for very popular platforms that can mean only two things: 1) the product rules the world in that segment or 2) company plans to sunset that product.
