> Safari is still working on pulling theirs back up.

not sure about this take, given that chrome‘s rendering engine was famously based on Safari‘s - WebKit - before they forked it (Blink). V8 was indeed faster than Safari‘s JS engine at the time. However, today, Safari is objectively faster in both rendering (WK) and JS performance (JSCore).



They caught up in performance but failed at what Apple was historically good at, vertical integration. Safari still sucks, and nobody talks about it because nobody uses it.
