Yep, Chrome is the new IE. Only instead of ActiveX and small proprietary HTML additions and EEE, it's a full coup de tat on web standards and Embrace, Extend, Control.
- madeofpalk 4y agoIsn't Safari the new IE?
- tete 4y agoI think they are on phones mostly.
- meitham 4y agoThey are one and the same thing now, WebKit!
- c0wb0yc0d3r 4y agoI can't tell if you're trying to say both Chrome and Safari use the same rendering engine, but Chrome hasn't used WebKit for nearly a decade.
- meitham 4y agoYou’re absolutely right! I wasn’t aware of Blink!
- mrighele 4y agoThey are both the new IE but at different point in time Chrome is the young IE, the one disregarding the competition and imposing their own standards. Safari is the old IE, the one that is behind other browsers in terms of standard as but that you cannot ignore because it ha too big of a market share
- encryptluks2 4y agoSo if people abandoned Chrome and Safari for Firefox, wouldn't Firefox be the new IE? I don't remember IE being open source and community-developed like Chromium which Chrome is based off of. I use Chromium on Linux and while there are a few things to complain about, it has been a pretty positive experience overall and worked better than Firefox.
