Except safari doesn't exist outside of Apple's luxury walled garden.

> they are still winning.

The strategic purpose of Safari is to extract dollars from Google and push users to the app store. Indeed a second rate, mediocre Safari is in Apple's best interest. On the other hand Google has every reason to develop the best browser possible and the incredible scale of chromium development demonstrates that.

Exactly the reason Safari matters to keep Chrome to take over the Web.

That luxury walled garden owns 23% of the world.

Funny how the same anti-M$ crowd pushes for Google no matter what.
