Maybe you were still in middle school but there was a time when the web was dead and IE killed it. Mozilla and Apple resurrected the web. Apple famously refused to allow Flash on iOS and in doing so single-handedly did more to push HTML5 standards than anyone else. I'll also point out that WebRTC has gone through numerous iterations to such a degree that a lot of WebRTC sites don't work with Safari 11 because they're using old non-standards-compliant variants of the API. The typical HN web dev seems to load their site in Chrome, click around a bit, and call it a day. That's not healthy for standards or the web, but it sure is lazy and expedient for a very narrow group of people. Chrome is not the web.
