ie was also a trashfire because of the release/update model, holding the entire web back because it was so far behind standards (ie6 was actually ahead of its time on release, but then didn't get updated for ages). safari, especially on ios where you can't even get any other browser engines, and the safari version is tied to the operating system version, follows that same model with the same consequences. not as painful these days, since the web has come a long way already, but you can definitely see the parallels

unsure what part of this is cause for downvoting-- it is absolutely correct. it's not even invalidating other peoples' observations. people are weird (or ignorant (or both))...

edit: oh and i guess now that i upvoted it it's not grey anymore xD
