The only people who think Safari is the new IE are people who weren’t around for IE.

it's also not possible for Safari to be the new IE because they don't have 95% marketshare. And IE's unique problem was that they pushed features that only they supported. Safari's problem is it doesn't support certain features

Also the thing is that there are plenty of features supported by Safari and Firefox that Chrome is slacking on. Nobody every complains about those features though because nobody would try to use a feature not supported by Chrome in the first place

Absolutely true! I've said the same thing many times myself.

Stating that Safari is the new IE is one of the answers to:
