One browser did have amazing column break/orphan control: the IE11/Spartan (Edge Classic) renderer. It's amazing/sad how much the web regressed in CSS multi-column support rather than improved since then.
(Some group or groups at Microsoft during Windows 8 development must have passionately loved multi-column text and proper "newspaper inspired" typography and wanted to see it succeed, and they did not seem to survive the backlash against Windows 8, sadly.)
