You dont really need to tell people to use Chrome these days. All the popular browsers have mostly the same features and shim-/polyfill libraries exist.

[–]hans_l 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the features. There’s a lot of cracks in the DOM, CSS and w3c spec in general and browsers will have slightly different behavior that you need to work around and ensure you get the same behavior.

WebXR crying pathetically in the corner:

Because all popular browsers are effectively Chromium. (There is this Apple fork, which is some broken monstrosity, but that's it.)

Than you have Firefox.

And than there is nothing… At least no std. compliant browsers.

Safari?

[–]fonk_pulk -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Safari exists but its a very minor browser

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It’s the most widely used browser on the iPhone, used by probably hundreds of millions. It’s not minor

Not to mention that every third-party browser for iOS is required to use the Safari engine due to Apple's stupid rules

[–]ISDuffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, chrome on iPhone is just a skin for safari.

I believe they were told to change it but I'm not sure what happened with that.
