Yes, Chrome is the de facto standard, and often the only browser thoroughly tested against. Even now though it isn't as dominant as IE at its peak though.

No, Chrome isn't significantly behind on adopting new standards compared with other major browsers (I'm looking at you Safari). IE6 to IE7 was about five years!

Which standards is Safari significantly behind on?

Note: you have to refrain from listing Chrome-only non-standards. You also have to refrain from listing standards that Chrome shipped years before actual APIs got standardized.
