No one needs Chrome, just like no one needs Safari. Some prefer Chrome, just like some prefer Safari. Improvements to the tools available for us to use is a good thing. I prefer Chrome because it travels well across various ecosystems. Touchbar support just makes it more useful for those who want it.

Great :D Hope they some day add P3 gamut support though. Things still look overly saturated on Chrome compared to Safari.
