Is this Chrome only or something the other browsers are working on, too? A quick web search does not seem to produce any relevant hits.

Chrome basically is abusing its market position, 69.65% globally, and becomes the new IE. Implementing its own HTML/JS standard. The sad truth is, some companies will look at Statcounter[0] and say because Firefox does not reach 5% global population and decided not supporting it, actively or passively.
