What obligation does Google have to optimize their own platform for anything other than Chrome? It should be up to Mozilla and Microsoft to keep up if they so choose.

- Pimpus 8y agoIt seems like a deliberate action to drive people to the Google browser. Other companies should not have to continually implement deprecated APIs just to play catch-up. It's a clear abuse of market dominance. > Another rather interesting aspect to note is that Polymer's latest versions support both Shadow DOM v0 and v1 APIs, but for some reason, Google still uses Polymer 1.0 with the deprecated API.
