I'm building a web app, and tested the app against all those browser. The behavior is really different, especially regarding the implementation a newly developed web api and the depreciation plan of ancient javascript api. For example, xhr depreciation [1].

As for chromium, they are quite responsive in responding the developer inquiries regarding a browser-specific API implementation. [2][3]

Sadly, it's IE vs Netscape all over again.

The yellow warning box on [1] is referring specifically to one flag, not to XHR generally.
