    These past years Safari gets two releases per year, the big one with the release of MacOS in fall and a .1 spring release, adapting web technologies and sometimes extra releases tied to other Apple events and Apple proprietary APIs I'm somewhat sceptical about evergreen browser, but that's mostly because I hate having the user interface changed under me without any action on my part.
