One issue I keep see cropping up with various corporate websites is they will only allow Chrome and will block any other browser. I would say in 9/10 cases, this isn't because the site uses features not supported in other browsers but rather, developers restrict it to Chrome because that's all their QA's test on.

It's clear that Net Neutrality and web standards are close to a myth. Security-wise, I trust Google over Mozilla though.

That's a different layer of the stack. I could get behind "web neutrality" as an initiative, though!
