Chrome has been the new IE6 for a long time now.
This is just blatantly false lmao do you really believe that?
IE6’s issue was that it kept inventing nonstandard technologies for the whole web to use, forcing any surviving browsers to find ways to emulate them rather than official standards.
In short, he’s completely correct. —A web developer
Safari is the new ie from a developer's POV. But chrome deliberately ignores some w3c standards, much like ie did back in the days, so some comparison could be made
I used to follow Jen Simmons because she was always informative about recent developments in future and current CSS features, but now she works as a "Safari evangelist" and only posts about features implemented in Safari, and she can't really "turn it off". Always like "Safari was first to implement this and that." Focus on the feature. I can't use it because yet it's not in any other browser than a locked-down one that I can't access or even test on.
I've unfollowed her recently. She contributes nothing constructive to me personally.
She sounds like an asshole. What an absolute piece of shit of a web browser. It is very much today's IE.
I will add that she made a statement on Bluesky where she comes off as a Zionist Apologist. So there's that to contend with...
I mean, she's just doing her job as a Safari evangelist, but I wish she was still with Mozilla doing actually good content made for everyone rather than just Safari users. We lost a good source of palatable information. She's quite pedagogical. It's just going to waste right now.
