It would be nicer still if they stopped thinking their browser only needs to get new features once per year. Safari is rapidly getting a reputation as the new IE6.

-----------------

To be fair, they had a 9.1 release this year, which included: Picture element support

Support for CSS variables

Etc https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/Gen...

So if they do this again, we're looking more at 6 month cycles.

The whole safari is the new IE6 stuff is hyperbole which I don't actually hear that many developers saying.. IE6 was bad because it didn't follow any standards, not because it updated slower than the competition.
