Safari is currently the 'Internet Explorer 6' of contemporary browsers. Someone has to be the most-quirky and least-easy to use. It's also the one from the vertically-integrated-ecosystem company.

Safari is the new Opera; it seems to serve its users instead of third party companies, and there's a very vocal minority fanbase, but the price of admission will forever keep them a minority.

This generation's IE6 is Chromium, no room for doubt. Beneath that surface veneer it's horribly buggy, it claims to support web standards but half-asses them (the *first* css-grid layout I tried didn't work in 60.0), and it crashes both itself and graphics drivers frequently. If not for the massive speed difference it brings, I wouldn't put up with any of that at all.

Also, Google + Chrome has office apps that break in subtle, not subtle, always annoying ways in any ecosystem not their own.
