It's Google, it's one of the biggest tech companies in the world making boatloads of money, in part off their browser. They're currently best known as one of the companies trying to create AI God. They really can't write an... image format parser?

    Cool, but why does that mean they need to write a codec for you for free?

      They don't need to, they're free to become IE6.

      I don't think it's irrational to be upset when a (near-)monopoly browser holds back useful features. Even if said browser is provided for free.

        They are IE6. They have near total market dominance, and dictate web standards. It's a very comparable situation to IE6 days.
