No need, with exception of Safari, Web is ChromeOS already.

All the other alternatives are meaningless, including Firefox.

I am one of the few folks on my team that still uses Firefox, all our projects dropped support for it like 5 years ago.

Wow, you’re really pushing this Web=ChromeOS nonsense. Want to support that with something more than your own isolated anecdote?

    Hard to find these days, but it remindes me of this [0]:

    > "- Google had a plan called "Project NERA" to turn the web into a walled garden they called "Not Owned But Operated". A core component of this was the forced logins to the chrome browser you've probably experienced (surprise!)"

    To "not own but operate" seems to go into the direction of the parent comment.

    E.g. Google releasing through dozens of Chrome-only APIs with hardly a spec, and then expecting everyone to support the "standards".

    Every discussion about "Safari holding back the web" on HN are about 99% about Google-only non-standards that both Safari and Firefox oppose.

    There are multiple "works only in Chrome" websites, many of them regularly published on HN.
