> no, the one close to being IE6 is Safari.

Google Chrome was compared to IE6 as being close to having 'the monopoly position as a browser'.

Indeed, Internet Explorer peaked at ~95% global browser market share in 2003-4 (when IE6 was the dominant version). Safari currently has <10% of the browser market share on desktop, <20% including mobile [1].

Sorry, Safari is nowhere close to being IE6 from this perspective.
