Safari Is The New Internet Explorer

Ah, the browser engine family portrait! Two fierce, intimidating dragons (Chromium and Gecko) looking ready to burn your CPU to ashes, and then there's Apple's WebKit... the derpy cousin with its tongue hanging out who still can't figure out how to implement basic web standards from 2015. Frontend developers have nightmares about Safari the same way they used to about IE. "But it works in EVERY browser!" *tests in Safari* "...except that one." Nothing says "I hate web developers" quite like forcing your proprietary browser engine on the entire iOS ecosystem while it struggles with features Chrome and Firefox implemented during the Obama administration. The circle of life: Internet Explorer dies, Safari steps up to become the new browser that makes developers question their career choices.
