I think that depends on your definition of "browser". Perhaps you mean "Firefox is the only desktop browser currently shipping"?

A quick check shows that Safari 7 and IE11 don't have it, which is good…

Personally, I agree with making it async, but I'd like people to be much more careful about any absolute statements that they make.
