There is currently no good browser for apple. Safari (8.0.8) struggles with HTML5. Firefox (40.0.2) struggles with video/media of any sort and bogs down with multiple tabs. Chrome (44.0.2403.157 (64-bit)) drains your battery. I'm on a MacBook Pro (10.10.5, 13-inch, Early 2015). They are all uniformly disappointing.

What?

No Stream API support for example

Struggles may have been the wrong verb. I meant this:

Straightforward things like pattern matching on form inputs

>pattern matching on form inputs

That's hardly "struggles", it's just a not very prominent feature that wasn't implemented, or not done properly.

Ok, but how do these affect someone during daily use? Is it _that_ much of a hindrance?
How does exactly Safari "struggle" with HTML5?
