Everyone's least favorite browser is the new IE.

  Are you even a developer? https://bugs.webkit.org/ https://bugs.webkit.org/ is full of bugs which are never fixed or will take years. You will never know where new iOS release breaks rendering engine again and new bugs appear out of nowhere. And it is almost impossible to debug them, because macOS safari is different than safari on iphone or ipad... And what about bug in webview in some app or firefox/chrome/edge on iOS...

    Yes! I've been a web developer for 16 years! I'm sure Chrome and Firefox issue trackers also have plenty of bugs which will never be fixed - that's just generally what happens with long-running software projects.

      At least in Chrome & Firefox you can update browser without big Android/Windows update... Safari needs big iOS update to fix bugs... It would be great if they atleast allow other browsers. So there would be alternative. Webkit bugs kill all browsers.

  Nonsense, IE wasn't IE because it did support open standards before everybody else.

You will be downvoted to hell for saying it. But it is cruel reality. Most expensive phone but Safari crashes more often than 100 eur 5 year old Android.
