Chrome is the new IE in the embrace-and-extend sense (the early IE that won the browser war). Safari is the new IE in the stagnating, not supporting new functionality, not fixing long-standing bugs sense (that same early IE several years later).

I think that idea is responsible for a great deal of what has gone wrong with the web ecosystem in recent years.
