A vanishingly small percentage of the web I make regular use of has any legitimate need for anything beyond what web browsers were capable of 4-6 years ago. In the odd case that I run into a site that’s broken in Safari, I can usually find an alternative that works fine in a few seconds.

What has the biggest impact on me as a user isn’t the quantity of bells and whistles the browser’s engine has, but how efficient it is because nobody likes battery vampire apps and how much the browser tilts the balance of control in favor of the user, because third parties on the web are best treated as adversarial until proven otherwise.

Chrome provides a nice experience for devs, but its user experience continues to slip.
