Do like all other developers make it the standard because it will change
again in a year,but wont be a standard till the next.
If folks are still running XP then it may force them to find a better
solution.
I have used Firefox for as long as I can remember and only because I
live in a linux world.
I am hoping for more great solutions to port to linux natively without
wine but it only takes time.

A bit of a survey here....
A couple of features I'm looking at for current/future products would
be much easier to implement using a certain feature found only in
relatively new web browsers, aka, Chrome/Firefox/Edge updated within
the last year.
One specific browser feature I'm looking at is webassembly. Various
tools out there indicate that around 87% of the installed/active
browsers on the internet are recent enough for native support. Most
of the browsers gained support for this feature early to mid last
year. With autoupdates being the rule instead of the exception,
anyone on a recent auto-updating web browser should support this. I'm
mostly concerned about 'the rest'.
Support for the older browsers is possible, but it adds a level of
complexity (specifically a level of testing) which I would prefer not
to do if I could get away without it.
To be clear: Almost all of the functionality of the upcoming products
won't require these functions. A specific example of something that
might require this is setting up the scripting functionality as I'm
looking at various technologies which would work best if I could run a
chunk of webassembly code in the browser as part of the code editor.
However, other than editing a script, the rest of the functionality
would work fine.
Thoughts?
