You are in my experience 80 % wrong ( ahead of Chrome / Firefox). I develop webapplications at my work.
The only thing that Safari is good at is memory footprint and batterly life.

Safari is better then everything and all the rest doesn't come near. The features that it copied from Chrome made Safari worse and at they don't spy on me or sell me to advertisers.
Note: Apple has iAd and does the same, it just doesn't want Google to do it.
At least i wrote some pro's for Safari... And it's a live feature tester for HTML 5 according to the W3C HTML 5 specifications, and safari lags far behind. It runs all the test cases and the best browser comes on top. The worst browser falls behind.. In this "objective" test, Safari falls short and Chrome, Opera and Firefox are much better.
So yes, it is much more objective then your opinion ;-)
please, enlighten us.
[1] case in point: the misfeature we are discussing in this thread, which is just another addition to the big list of browser features that I have to go out of my way to disable to get a sane experience that minimises my exposure to the incompetence of web developers
That is (according to me) the true reason why Apple doesn't add features to Safari ;)
