And that shows why Chrome is not IE... Chrome jumped in and supported WebAssembly even though they already had a mature equivalent (pNaCl) which they have now deprecated.

I just don't understand why there is so much hate for Chrome out there. Sure, we don't always get our way.

To me the Chrome team seems to listen to developers and users, and to put the effort in to follow standards, and to keep improving Chrome in ways that I care about as a developer.

IE6 did none of that.

IE6 had just different users than Chrome has.

But MS did listen to them, even too much actually.

MS had their customers intranet developers to make happy, Chrome has its giant father, Google, the AD company.

Chrome is much worse in perspective for users freedom.
