I wanted to use Google Earth yesterday, and I was surprised with
the announcement that there was a new Google Earth for use in a

SeaMonkey I got this message "Aw snap! The new Google Earth isn't
supported by your browser yet.", and a message to try it in
Chrome.
Why doesn't the new Google Earth run in SeaMonkey / Firefox
etc.?
Arrogance? Stupidity? Your guess is as good as mine.
Really?
- Perhaps because it's _their_ web application & they offer it for
free using _their_ interface (Chrome browser)?
I don't need to read anything beyond "web application" to think it
should run on all browsers. End of story.
If they want to distribute it as software to run locally, then fine,
they can do as they please. But web pages should be W3C compliant.
