Yes.

If it works on Chrome, no one cares or even tests for other things.

If there is a JS feature in Chrome they want to use, so it’s impossible to use other browsers (instead of looking wrong) people do it.

Performs fine in Chrome? Ship it.

Yes, Chrome is the new IE in that it’s the only browsers companies care about, just like IE was for a very long time.

Everything has to be Chrome compatible to succeed. That’s the benchmark, not what the spec says.

Yes, Chrome is necessary for some sites that don't work on Firefox.
