@rmondello Oh, my bad then. Glad to see there’s been some tech investment in WebKit, that’s a good thing for the web in general. Thanks for correcting me.
(And yes, the “new IE6” line wasn’t supposed to be taken literally. I just meant there’s been a point when Safari was such a PITA for frontend devs that the comparison could be made, but I agree it was an overstatement.)

This post is wrong on a key detail: WebKit. WebKit has an influence on the direction of the web platform. To say it’s only Firefox that exerts influence here is fiction, betraying a lack of understanding of how web standards work in 2025.
“Full control over web standards” has little to do with the Blink/WebKit shared lineage and a lot more to do with an engine’s market share and the values of the contributors to that engine.
Gecko is important, but don’t kid yourself into thinking things that aren’t true.
