Hmm... that doesn't really sound all that bad to me in the present
day and age.

It usually renders stuff right for me (the same as WebKit). I
actually find more quirks in WebKit, I believe, when I do web
development, even though I use the WebKit driven Safari primarily (on
my computer and phone).
I wouldn't mind seeing Chrome succeed, though, although I'm not sure
if it is in everyone's best interest to have the browser market
dominated by the same company that dominates the search market.
Mozilla's somewhat of a free agent. I was actually hoping Apple Safari
would spread more, but Apple hasn't figured out how to get Windows
users excited about it yet. If it did, though, that would be good for
WebKit.
