Safari isn’t the problem, but the lack of browser choice in iOS is
What made IE6 IE6 wasn't the technical choices it made, but the fact that whatever were its views, those were forced on the world by its market dominance.<p>The browser that is closer to that position now is Chrome, not Safari. The sad fact that Apple does not allow other browsers in their platform in fact may be overall a good thing if it keeps Google from owning the web alone.<p>Apple may need to do something or risk losing some of the appeal of iOS. But calling Safari the new IE is barking at the wrong tree.
