Ah, yes, the web: Infinitely cross platform and portable, except "this website will only work if you run the js with this specific js interpreter, and also we dont know how to do css so we used very platform specific css, and also our html is not complaint but Chrome doesn't care, and also... but its cross platform. Its the web, it runs anywhere!"

But who is to blame? I, the one who has amount x of time and wants to reach the maximum amount of people? Or the browser vendors for just doing the bare minimum to be compatible with each other but nothing more. The browser vendors do have a lot more manpower (and money) than me…

Firefox is the libre alternative struggling to compete with the Google behemoth which adds things to its browser even faster than they appear in the standard. Safari is the underfunded child of a corporation as wealthy as Google. It is mainly the first that motivates web developer solidarity.
