    Companies like chrome because it’s the most used browser. So if they develop for it, and only for it without caring of compatibility on others, then it’s cheaper. And since they don’t want you to use another browser and complain that their site is broken, the just block you.

      Shouldn’t they just commit to follow the web standards? Most modern browsers strive to follow those standards.

        Well chrome should, yes. But they don’t.
        Then some JavaScript framework developers think “well this non-standard feature is neat, let’s use that everywhere” and then companies who use their framework (or a framwork dependent on it) can’t support all browsers.

        It’s a multilayered problem (as always) with lots of individually decisions that make sense, but don’t work out in the end (as always).
