The definition of "the new IE" is not not supporting the latest features (IE had plenty of "new" features—see e.g. filters, VML, XMLHttpRequest). The issue with IE was that it supported it's own proprietary features without consultation nor coordination with competitors. Something it was only able to do due to its market monopoly.

Yes, Chrome does this too.

It's slightly better in that it tends to submit them to standards bodies after implementing them, but most of the time that's WHATWG which is a much less democratic body than others, and mostly Google-led. Either way Chrome's market monopoly leave competitors with little choice in the standards process.
