Unless there is new info I do not know about, this leaves safari as the last holdout? New IE indeed!

discuss

depends on what part you mean - edge is announcing work on HTML templates, which safari already supports (http://caniuse.com/#search=templates)

Am I remembering incorrectly in saying that other than templates they have not specified intentions for shadow dom or any of the other specs?

Looks like they are still better off than I-Edge but these intentions at least sound promising.

Will Safari take over the infamy of IE6 in 3 years?

I dislike the comparison to IE6 because it's easily shot down with the many ways in which the situation is different. But Safari absolutely is falling behind other browsers in API support and could well end up holding the web back. Particularly on mobile, given that iPhone users are not able to install a different browser runtime.

That would be a very distant possibility. Chrome is indeed being used by a lot of Apple users however, the loyalty and fan base of any and all Apple products is too big and, pardon me, egoistic. They would not let it go that easy

Curious where this is coming from.

Safari doesn't lag that far behind WebKit and iOS/OSX both have very frequent update cycles. And has WebKit really been that bad at adopting internet standards ?

Nope. Smartphones get replaced more regularly, and with less compatibility headaches than Desktops.

XP reigned for over a decade. No iOS version will be widely used for nearly that long.

Based on this post from a few months ago (which was on HN at the time), I wouldn't call Safari a holdout, though I don't know what's happened since then.
