Thanks to Opera? Mobile Safari on the first iPhone was the first browser that actually made sense and showed the web as you should.

Yeah, Opera mobile and mini, arguably the most innovative mobile browsers ever invented. I had a Sony Ericsson P1i and was enjoying the mobile web thanks to Opera just fine.

Safari was impressive back then for sure, but feature-wise it's pretty bad even today.
