MathML has been dead for years. HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is not part of the spec and never will be. What is part of the spec is MPEG-DASH. But, File Storage, WebRTC, and Pointer Events? Those are actually useful for modern web development.
"But Chrome also tries to push various proposals of (mainly) theirs, down everyone's throats."
Never experienced that with chrome, but I developed a kind of hate towards mozilla, for forcing IndexedDB and IndexedDB ONLY and refusing for anything else and therefore killing FileAPI and WebSQL
Yeah, the kind of "IE6" that beat Chrome and Firefox last year to be the first to fully support ES6 for example.

Check http://caniuse.com/#compare=chrome+59,safari+TP yourself, and you see the differences in scores is mostly because they give 1 point to every API, however non-important it is. Meanwhile, Chrome supports some good ones (File Storage, WebRTC, Pointer Events etc), but Safari supports some good ones that Chrome doesn't too: MathML, HTTP Live Streaming, Video and Audio Tracks, SVG fonts. But Chrome also tries to push various proposals of (mainly) theirs, down everyone's throats.
