In the meantime Safari/Firefox as appropriate.
It's a shame really, because as a piece of software engineering Chrome is incredible.

- Dalewyn 2y agoPlaying Devil's Advocate, maybe browsers are still too incomplete. Once browsers are the operating system, everyone can simply speak Chrome and be done with it. The success of Electron strongly suggests both devs and users want to singularize on Chrome, so why not take it to the logical conclusion? Chrome is the abstraction layer to WindowsMacOSiOSLinuxAndroidBSDx86ARMRISC-Vspaghettisoup.
