Chrome probably has the benefit of being updated frequently rather than more of an annual cycle. But Safari still isn't anywhere near IE6 levels of awfulness.

WebKit also isn’t trying to push a proprietary OS-locked runtime for interactivity, doesn’t wildly diverge in most rendering behavior, and handles most basics correctly.
As much as IE6 was a menace for not keeping up with standards, what made it really bad was crap like ActiveX, radially different layout/rendering behaviors, and shortcomings like inability to render transparency in PNGs and some of the most illegible italic text rendering I’ve ever seen.
Safari adds support for new web features in point releases throughout the year.
But only for the latest major iOS version.
The latest version of iOS supports the iPhone 11 introduced in 2019.
