Safari has so much better HLS video streaming support on iOS then chrome. Chrome has caught up a little bit but the documentation still sucks.

Uh, duh? That's because HLS is not a web standard and never will be so nobody else is going to bother building it into their browsers. The standard (ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012) way to do adaptive bitrate streaming is MPEG-DASH.

Microsoft Edge and Chrome on Android both support HTTP Live Streaming.
