The issue is that you often want to work around bugs in a browser. For instance, Safari technically supports a lot of features, but very often there are slight inconsistencies with other browsers. Would Safari’s capability be something like “capture-stream-with-bugs”?

  Well, Chrome and Edge.

    Google Chrome and Microsoft Chrome.

      agree (as Edge user)

      In what sense is Edge Chrome?

        In a sense that both browsers are forks of Chromium.

"recommended"? That's just something that Chrome team created and no other browser vendor is interested in supporting it. Google seems to think that they can use their market dominance to force the idea.

  If it’s an improvement, why is that a bad thing? I do expect them to lead if they’re in a dominant position. Sitting idly would be the wasted opportunity.
