That's one hell of a clickbait title. In order for any browser to be "the new IE", developers would have to hate it and dread developing for it/supporting it. Ask any web developer today which browser is their favourite, go-to browser for development. This statement holds absolutely no water.

Secondly, the author cherry picks a couple things that haven't been implemented in Chrome, glossing over the fact that Chrome tends to support way more features than any other browser on the market, and is more often than not the first and the best implementor of web standards. A quick perusal of caniuse.com or the support matrices on MDN will drive this point home (honourable mention to Firefox).
