A lot of developers and others within the industry feel that the dominance of Google Chrome is bad or the open web and, although we're certainly in a better place today than we were 20 years ago, there are some similarities to the time when Internet Explorer was the dominant browser (i.e. it was awful for the open web).
Although in the past I've felt having a single browser dominate would be great for development, it's not great for innovation. To that end, I think it's important that we continue to stay educated on what's going on with the other major browsers, and continue to support the progress being made.
So here are links to the official blogs of the various major desktop browsers, as well as a few of the lesser-used browsers. Feel free to add these to your RSS feeds (you still use RSS, right?!):
The point here is not necessarily to promote any of these browsers, but for developers to know where they can be educated on them. Part of what made Chrome popular was the fact that they kept adding more features and kept improving the performance of the browser. If another browser does the same thing (or better), who knows what can happen.
Personally, I think DuckDuckGo (which seems to be the alternative search engine of choice for tech pros nowadays), should make their own browser. It would be a seamless transition for many of us.
