When I left android, I was jailbreaking on iOS, so generally had all of those features, but funny enough probably about right when you left extensions, VPN ad blockers, etc. came out. Officially and polished.
Debugging (without a MacBook). Webgl 2. WebXR. Local storage not being completely gimped. I’m glad I don’t work in that industry anymore, Safari was the bane of my existence…
Good web standards are a threat to the app store (particularly anything to do with ARKit) - not like 3rd party browsers are likely to change that much with the majority of users sticking to defaults, but it might apply some pressure
If safari was a great browser, I don’t think apple would fear competition to the point of fully banning it wherever possible
I haven’t had problems. I would just like to be educated on what I’m missing out on.
Well web developers are the ones typically suffering since are the ones papering over the mess that is safari
Functioning ad block, background video playback, to name two extensions that are very useful on mobile.
I have both of those capabilities right now and I have for a very, very long time.
Ah, I didn’t know that was possible. I don’t think it was last time I used iPhone circa 2019 or so.

Every other browser except IE has supported web standards more quickly and more fully. Safari is trash.
