Internet Explorer did their own thing and damn web standards. Chrome follows the standards.

Well, the chrome people have a hand in writing those standards…

So does Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla. Google/Chrome does not write or edit the standard on their own.

Chrome basically is the standard. If Chrome adds it, developers will use it.

And this is exactly the problem.

Google is a better steward of their default position than Microsoft was, by a mile, so far.

But the web and the internet is more important than Google.

Use Firefox. :)

Chrome follows a lot of draft standards that they themselves submitted. Not really the same thing.

The standard is edited and written by Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla.
