A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

From a feature perspective, yes. But with the dominance of Google's Chrome and them pushing awful web API's I'd say the title of "the new IE" goes to Chrome.
Google's business practices are God awful, yes. Apple's are too, in a different way. In the end, Google's probably are worse but from a technology standpoint at least they are not seeking to ignore web standards. They're trying to create them. In the case of the authentication API it's a shit ass standard, but that's not what they have done historically. Google has mostly embraced and helped push standards through which made the web better. Apple has actively despised and resisted standards.
But I'm not sure why we are comparing these two evil tech companies. Firefox and other browser makers have also supported modern web standards while apple hates the idea of them. The result is a shitty ass browser that behaves like 7 years old Firefox or something. That was my only point.
