Doesn’t work forever though. Used to be the same with Microsoft and Internet Explorer, but better things came along that were less terrible and not controlled by a single tech company throwing their weight around to push their own standards.
It’ll happen again if Google restricts the extension store much more though. They’ve been attacking ad and privacy extensions for years
“leaks” about Google blocking ad blockers got me to switch to Firefox in October last year. Was worth the risk. Took the time to also leave googles password manager and switch to bitwarden as well.
There are still websites that work on basic HTML 1.1, even under Windows 3.11 and Internet Explorer 5.
That whole ‘nothing lasts forever’ thing isn’t because the changing internet standards, it’s because companies and websites choose to adopt those standards rather than stick with backwards compatibility.
Granted yes, a lot of it has to do with security, Google’s pocketbook security by shoving ads in our faces…
As long as chrome is the default option on every or almost every android smartphone chrome will have the majority marketshare. People always mostly use the default.
