nope. thought so too until i had to install chrome in the middle of a meeting.
?
A website should be universal and not dependent on what browser you are using. I say that but we are all suffering from Chromeitis just like Internet Exploreritis in the 2000s...
Web devs never learn.
well i agree on what it should be, but that isn't the case. i use firefox on my own time but have to use chrome to make a living. and no, the user agent isn't the problem
Chrome is the new IE.
Because what would be the practical difference between this "website" and Android app if Android base was available on others systems?
Both are dependent on specific runtime, both are API based, with special way to do persistant storage (usually not for user to view), both have restrictive permission system, both isolate apps from each other... The only difference is Chrome does not have centralized app store and still has compatibility with regular websites.
