Start blaming the sites for using new Chrome(ium)-exclusive features when they're not otherwise necessary. The fact that many sites which decide to update and then offer zero or often negative value to the user, while requiring a newer browser, should be proof that Google is doing an embrace-extend-extinguish on web standards, and web developers who get sucked into their propaganda are making it harder for alternative browsers.

There are new web features being adopted by browsers other than Chrome all the time.
They're essentially being forced to by Google.
They may be adopted by browsers other than Chrome, but were they invented by other browsers?
