Once the Safari monopoly on iPhone is gone, the web will belong to Chrome.

Once the Safari noncompetitive monopoly is gone, Apple will be motivated to make Safari best-in-class.

For me, Safari is best in-class on OSX.

It has the fastest UI, uses the least memory and uses a fraction of the battery life compared to all other browsers.

And from what we've seen in Monterey they are continuing to invest heavily in improving it.

lol, no. they're not. Safari specially on mobile is a joke and a bad one at it. Their whole strategy is to pull you into there Appstore and monetize every part of it and keep Webapps at a disadvantage

Yeah, I have no idea what people are talking about with Safari being the modern IE when Google is off in a corner trying to push web standards no one is asking for on a browser that makes its RAM consumption look like you’re doing video editing.

I suppose you felt the same way about IE?

I don't know why you're being downvoted, that is actually a fair and surprisingly thoughtful question.

My answer would be that the landscape of the web, advertising and software ecosystems are drastically different today.
