Safari was never the new IE. Microsoft took 5 years to go from IE6 to IE7, and 7 was really bad. IE completely stagnated, while being the default browser on a billion PC's. Then they were very slow to adopt HTML 5 features. Developers were supporting IE6 over 10 years after it was released. I doubt if many people are supporting 5 year old versions of Safari, let alone 10 year old versions.

#93Safari is a great browser for MacOS, what it lacks right now, is not more features, is opening the extension system. Let's face it, it is ridiculous to have to pay 100$ a year to be able to improve Apple's product in exchange for nothing. Making plugins for a browser doesn't have in any way the same opportunities to make money from it as making apps for iOS or for MacOS. Still Apple, in all their usual stubbornness r…
I don't know whether it's ridiculous or not, but it's definitely a culture clash.

Now, not only do you have to pay, the old extension system has been deprecated in favor of a new system where you have to bundle your extensio…
Re: Safari 10.1
#94Biggest deal here (for me) is the HTML 5 download attribute. Without that you cannot name or provide an extension for files that are triggered for download.

Like that super readable Chrome tab bar when you have lots of tabs open? http://imgur.com/a/MZ2dI
There is no solution to that many tabs. Not getting it right with 5-6 open seems hard even if you try.
Then it would be totally down to personal preference: when I reach maximal tabs, do I want to keep going into the nightmare pit of tabageddon or am I happy with a new clean window?

Funny. But there is still an escape key and it's not altogether impossible to use

Unless of course you touch type in which case you end up looking at the keyboard now....
