I appreciate the quality of the offering, and indeed I'm excited because I am currently building a product that uses Google's synthesis!
But it's the lack of care displayed here that's really disappointing. It's like nobody involved with this demo went "Hey, maybe people aren't using Chrome and we should at least not totally fail when that happens". It's disappointing; as a mostly front-end dev at a small company, I put a lot of time into making sure that things work cross-platform, even if I don't always get it right. It's disappointing that Google's culture doesn't rate that highly enough.

- paulryanrogers 9y agoThen it works in two browsers: most popular and their own. Ideally there would be such a large number of in-use standards compliant browsers that companies had to comply.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoThere are four or five out there. I would expect the average modern web app to be compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and possibly IE11 if that’s appropriate for the particular use case.
- StavrosK 9y agoThe problem isn't so much that browser vendors don't adhere to standards, it's that they make their own additional features and then make webpages that work with those. Having standards won't do anything for that, unless the standard says "you must not implement extra functionality".
