Obviously it wasn't. Folks keep using Electron, ChromeOS, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari and the HTML5 APIs that are common to all of them. If you took away everything that didn't exist in HTML 4.01/XHTML the entire world would grind to a screeching halt.
Anyway, I don't see any problem with the Chrome taking on all the features of ChromeOS. Give me more features and higher quality for free, I'm not going to complain :)
Also, Microsoft Edge has more users than Safari on platforms that I care about and they're the ones I'm jumping ship to if Google tries to take away uBlock Origin.
- pjmlp 6y agoWhen the world turns into a Chrome monoculture, there won't be Web any longer, job offers will turn into ChromeOS developer kind of ad.
- wayneftw 6y agoMeh. Everybody ran Windows too, until they didn’t. Software moves too fast. Even the hegemony of Android and iOS which is even more bothersome to many, will be broken before long. Also, Edge is not Chrome. So, you can always run that if you don’t like Safari or Firefox. And I really don’t see Edge Safari or Firefox going anywhere so double meh.
