> In the end, support chrome is simply supporting another Internet-Explorer-era. Maybe not as IE but it would be very similar.

IMO - it is foolish to put Chrome and IE in the same box.

I don't think anyone is going to make an argument to only support Chrome, there's clearly other browser tech out there that we as devs must support. I will however say that you should prioritize supporting the most popular browsing platforms (browser, screen, device, OS, etc) when building applications and/or during testing.

Since you're touting Linux utilization - I will say that I better have a helluva testing budget (time and money) if I'm going to even touch on the long-tail platform combos (anything < 5%). The only reason my apps are heavily tested in Linux is because they're developed on a Debian Jessie box =D
