Worst browser for who? Developers or actual users?
As a dev, I don't prefer using Safari to build stuff, that's for sure. Chrome and sometimes even Firefox is much more pleasant in that regard.
But as a user, the overall browsing experience is usually quite good. There are three things that it does really well IMO.
* It renders text and websites beautifully.
* I don't care so much about artificial benchmarks - Safari usually feels like one of the faster browsers in normal usage and for things like switching between tabs and all of that normal stuff.
* It takes advantage of some newer OS X technologies for extending battery life.
The only missing ingredient as a user is the much smaller extension ecosystem for Safari.
