> a slow, dated browser I agree with your overall point, but this really isn’t a fair categorisation of Safari. It’s a fast, modern, efficient browser, and a lot of the stuff it doesn’t support is only supported in Chrome. I concede it does lag behind Firefox in terms of supported web features, but only very slightly, and if you compare pre-release versions, that gap narrows even more (using the Caniuse browser scores as a rudimentary measure).

The issue with safari isn't its supported features but that it's very buggy and unstable. You never know when they are going to break indexdb, localstorage or some basic CSS rendering primitive again. And because the browser is also hard coded to the iOS version, it has the slowest update rate of all modern browsers.
