- bitmapbrother 10y agoNo, IE shit the bed with its pathetic compliance with web standards. If anything, Edge is the new IE. Chrome is one of the most web standard compliant browsers out there and as long as it stays that way I'm okay with its dominance.
- ameliaquining 10y agoIn my experience, the new IE is Safari.
- hobarrera 10y agoSafari has barely any market share, so definitely no.
- ameliaquining 10y agoOn mobile, it has plenty. And I mostly meant in terms of speed to adopt new web standards and features.
- gcp 10y agoChrome is one of the most web standard compliant browsers out there It helps if you're the one making the standards. Much of the current web standardization effort is just documenting what Chrome does and what particular bugs Blink has.
- masklinn 10y ago> Much of the current web standardization effort is just documenting what Chrome does and what particular bugs Blink has. Which is exactly what "the current web standardisation" was with respect to MSIE back in the days of the Second War.
- gcp 10y agoWell yes, but there was also significant outreach effort to get rid of the most egregious IE specifics and show how things could be done better and cleaner with (non IE specific) web standards. And that part was rather successful.
- flukus 10y agoI just wish firefox would learn from the UI and adopt it (or provide an easy conversion), then I'd switch back in a heartbeat.
- Grue3 10y agoYou mean Firefox UI isn't already a carbon copy of Chrome?
- flukus 10y agoBasically. Better would be nice too. I mainly want better tab handling and the location bar under the tab though. Last time I looked into this it required half a dozen barely supported plugins though. If anyone knows a good guide?
