It's not punishing people for using new tools. It's punishing people for using tools without thinking. Those who are harmed by this deserve it.

> Every time some site "recommends Chrome" or tech support says "we only test on Chrome" or "we only support Chrome [or whatever Chrome variant]" it is another nail in our collective coffin. I want Chrome and its children to prosper, but not in a vacuum, not unchallenged, not without usable alternatives.

What are the facts? Again and again and again -- what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history" -- what are the facts, and to how many decimal places?
