That's actually the point. To do that I need to test on all those browsers and they all "include standards support at the very minimum", they just sometime interpret the standard their very own way. What do you think will be Google's interpretation of the standards? Also I further need to take support calls from people that are using all those browsers. Meaning different interfaces, different preference settings, different add-ons, different headaches... @D, yes I do actually develop sites that support multiple browsers. That’s actually the point.

What do you think will be Google’s interpretation of the standards?

Also I further need to take support calls from people that are using all those browsers. Meaning different interfaces, different preference settings, different add-ons, different headaches…

Also, can you not write sites that support multiple browser? Geeze whats this world coming to....

However I doubt they will be based on the exact same version, especially if Google makes contributions to WebKit and anyway the JavaScript engines will not be the same... @Luke, you’re right, it’s based on WebKit, like Safari.

Not another browser to test against!". But apparently, Google Chrome is based on Webkit, so in theory, what works in Safari should work in Chrome! I guess we'll have to see...
