Why is whatsapp web restricted to google chrome only?

Just curious about this, why is whatsapp web restricted to chrome only? Are there any security issues with other browsers or is it something specific to chrome engine or is it something related to performance or is it the mobile to pc synchronization via gmail that's restricting whatsapp web to chrome browser. We could have a firefox plugin for whatsapp web

Most probably because Chrome fully supports Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC). I guess the phone is providing data via P2P to the Web API.
