The fact that a lof of tooling is only available for Chrome is another side effect of the monoculture among developers.
I too use Chrome for developing every now and then, but I use Firefox as my main browser for everything else.
- colept 9y agoI don't think that's the monoculture of developers. Chrome was based in Webkit in it's rising years - which put it on par with Safari and Android. This meant that you could develop comfortably and do less cross-browser work up front. Developers got comfortable. Chrome is open source, extendable, and keeps up with web standards.
- falcolas 9y ago> Chrome is open source No, Chromium is open source. Chrome != Chromium. There's still some secret sauce being thrown into chrome that you don't have access to. > extendable Only with JavaScript. It bugs me a bit to this day that this is deemed to be sufficient by Firefox as well. We've lost quite a few good extensions with this change. > web standards It helps that Google's team pushes most of those web standards, meaning that everyone else is typically playing catch up.
