> all the major web browsers have given up on being the User Agent, and instead act as the web developer's agent. The elephant in the room: Chrome is owned by Google and Chromium is only a stripped down version with no independent development, Apple/Safari is paid by Google, Firefox is paid by Google. We could argue design decisions aren't directly dictated by Google in regards to Safari and Firefox, but we're also not seeing any major decision that straight goes against Google's interests. The most we've seen from Safari is manual element removal, and on iOS only.
