It 100% did not in that universe. Safari is massively lagging behind, and has been for so long it will certainly be years before it catches up with Chromium or Firefox.

it 50% did. safari and chrome are trading blows, with safari generally ahead on useful css and chrome generally ahead on useful api

https://caniuse.com/?compare=chrome+106,safari+16.0&compareC...

The caniuse data shows that the number of APIs Chrome supports that Safari doesn't is at least 3 times higher than the opposite, and among the APIs Safari supports that Chrome don't, most are either too old and useless, too new and equally useless, or very small compared to the massive APIs listed to Chrome advantage.

I really don't see how that translates to "Safari and Chrome trading blows" and Safari taking over Chrome by "50%"?

Also, here is more representative dataset, where you can see that Safari has more than 5 times the number of API failures compared to Chrome, and 3 times compared to Firefox (in the stable channel): https://wpt.fyi/results/?label=master&label=experimental&ali...

How many of those Chrome APIs are privacy misfeatures? I suspect at least half of them.

oh cool. hey quick question, how do i do a hanging quote in chrome?

It helps that Jen Simmons, a renown css evangelist and expert, works on safari.

No. Safari is miles behind. https://wpt.fyi/results/?label=experimental&label=master&ali...

Interop2022 is probably what your referring too but that’s just a small (but still important) functionality that the browsers have agreed to focus on. Interop is great, but using it as the primary metric for your browser is very dishonest. Apple tried to do this in their regulatory filing but every other vendor and developers said that the overall stats are much more representative.
