That isn't really true since if it were we wouldn't have had the problem of IE back in the day or Safari today.
- dmitriid 5y agoI don't understand your logic. Since 1999 we've added anything from flexbox and grids to CSS to web components to DOM to classes, sets, symbols, workers etc. to Javascript. Even things like standardizing HTML rendering didn't happen until mid 00s. Fire up a VM and run the modern web in IE 6. You'll fond a surprising number of browsers failing in subtle and not--so-subtle ways.
- code_duck 5y agoI think the intent of that comment was to say that almost-full-featured browsers like safari are currently adequate to browse the vast majority of websites. Personally, the only time I run into sites where some feature is Chrome-only is tech demo type pages I find on HN.
