 This is true but it is equally true that this speaks to the power of ecosystems. And while I can fault Google for a lot, it isn’t their fault that our beloved Firefox dropped the ball on ecosystem for years or that Safari/WebKit never came to the table at all.

 @3ddab33a I agree with the state of where we are with Chrome/Chromium. But I guess I’m just not willing to ignore the valid reasons of how we got here, because I watched it happen and I watched the alternatives continue to refuse to even try to compete, the same way it took years for anyone to actually try against IE beyond bitching and anti-trust lawsuits. And when they did compete (pour one out for Camino, which led to the project leads for both Safari and Chrome), IE fucking fell.
