> There was a time when I tried to educate people on the negative effects of browser monoculture. Okay, my mum didn't get it, but I was more disappointed by my fellow devs.
Two points.
One: dev tools. Chrome's are just so much better than anything I tried in any other browser.
Two: uneven speed with which web standards land in different browsers. True, Chrome lagged behind on CSS subgrid; but generally, it's pretty quick to bring in new standards.
I haven't used either browser's dev tools much recently so I don't have an opinion on one vs. the other, but...
Respectfully, if Chrome's dev tools are better, I feel like that's a reason to use Chrome's dev tools... not a reason to use Chrome fulltime.
It's quite rare that I have any opinion on what others do but the Chrome situation is an exception. As the article's author notes, having lived through the first browser monoculture, I'm not looking forward to the second.

That's it for me.
