As an example of how perfidious some of the discussions on web standards are, on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines

In teeny tiny font near the bottom:

"Given the market-share dominance of Blink-based browsers,[4] if Google chooses to not support a standard, like JPEG XL,[30][31] it will not become relevant on the Web.[30][31] Such standards are not listed in these tables."

So if Chrome implements something that Safari doesn't, then its a deficiency in Safari. If Safari supports something Chrome doesn't, its not relevant so will not appear in any comparison tables.

Chrome is 100% the new IE, as it is the being treated as the sole arbiter of what is a web standard or not.
