> I don't really blame Google, because they're just building a better browser than anyone else can build. But the effective result is definitely "embrace, extend, extinguish." Google is the only tech company I know of that serves crappier versions of their biggest apps to non-Chrome browsers. Their main search page, Youtube, Gmail, hangouts. Probably more. If you fake your user agent to Chrome, you get the "good" version of everything and it generally works fine. The differences on some sites, like their main search page, are quite stark. But if you fake UA, you get CAPTCHA all the time and they won't even let you login to Gmail. I'm done with Google at this point. I'm not going to be part of the masses marching us towards a worse situation than we had with IE in the 90's
