#6Mobile Safari is the new IE. Random idiosyncrasies that are poorly documented dictated by the whims of a single corporation. Apple has broken stuff multiple times in the past few years.

#7Just to (mostly) preempt this because the exact same discussion is had every time this sentiment comes up: Isn't safari the new IE?
Answer: They both are like IE, for different reasons:
Chrome: Pushes proprietary extensions onto the web, which due to their absolute dominance others are somewhat forced to adopt, people develop for it and don't test in any other browser, just like IE
Safari: is coupled to operating system version, lags behind on implementing new features, thus single handedly slowing down when everyone can use new features. Has weird quirks that other browsers don't, just like IE (though not nearly as bad as IE)
So which is like IE? It just depends on what you mean when you say "like IE", the label applies to both because IE was bad for more than one reason

#8Safari. I assumed this was overblown until I had the rich experience of developing a Flutter app that needed to work on every platform. Somehow, even Androids chaos is notably better to work with.

Then it would be quite different from IE. Microsoft was so averse to breaking backwards compatibility, that IE stopped innovating and stagnated.

New features to ensure ads are pervasive and can’t be blocked? How empowering! Advertisers say thanks. Wait, Google is the biggest. How self-serving.
