Except that we're seeing a world where folks are sometimes deciding to leave Chrome for Safari (or others).
Even in my non-web-dev circles of average folks, they're saying "I hate Chrome" and going somewhere else for their browser.
Even if Chrome "goes further and further forwards" it won't matter if it becomes the de-facto hated browser over time. Safari is banking on the fact that security and stability are more important than "some new flashy CSS" and it is possible they might succeed by following this strategy.
- pimterry 5y agoRight now, it's the top browser engine by a long long way, and its market share is either stable (on desktop) or slowly increasing (on mobile). I don't think either of our circles are representative of the wider world unfortunately.
- raydev 5y agoYet Apple gave up on Safari on Windows and isn't present on Android phones. Unless Macs and iOS devices take over the world (which may happen years from now), Safari will continue to be outnumbered and pushed aside.
- pjmlp 5y agoDepends where on the globe one is. There are markets where iOS is pratically 0% and there are markets where it has almost all the market for itself. So it depends to whom certain business want to sell.
