Agree. Early web development was a compability nightmare. Now that one platfrom rules the world it is less of a problem. It seems that making a standard failed, and we solved the problem by adopting the same platform.


As someone who went through browser wars and lived under IE tyranny, I hate this point of view (which is pretty common, unfortunately).

What happened is that standards finally got their act together, and FF was eating IE's lunch anyway. Chrome just sped up its demise. But, monoculture is never a good thing. Especially as the leading company is actually an advertising agency. Do you think we can trust them not to abuse their position?
