At what point did Apple neglect Safari?

They didn’t chase Google to implement features that solely benefit ChromeOS, but iPhones have completely dominated Android and any other browser engine for mobile rendering performance since the iPhone 4. A miserably slow browser that can receive push notifications is pointless.

Exactly. People claim Apple neglects Safari because its priorities are not aligned with Chrome's.

Maybe not allowing a website to store GBs of data, run in the background or show notifications is a feature for some users.

It’s really only been in the past 3 years or so that I’ve started to see real pushback from Devs on Apple being overly pushy. Prior to that so many of the complaints were on the order of “Apple won’t allow me to do [insert insanely user-hostile or non-performant thing here] woe is me!”

I've been a huge fan of Safari since its introduction.

My only major complaint is that they replaced the old dev tools by this current atrocity which forces me use Chrome for development.
