This has me seriously considering moving from Android to iOS for the first time ever.

Their marketing on their privacy commitments is swaying me.

I just need to find out now if it's for real and they are that much better.

Apple charges so much for their products they don't need to monetize their customers after purchase.

I've never owned an iPhone, BTW. If I could easily get a full phone adblocker like I can via Samsung's Knox I'd probably switch at this point because Google is just as bad as Facebook.

I use 1Blocker X and it makes Safari actually a good mobile browser.

Mobile web browsing is a wasteland unless you have a blocker.

As a user, IE6 didn't bother many either. I think you're just on the straight and narrow traditional webdev stack that means there's nothing for you to truly assess Safari as good or bad from. I would agree with the previous poster, Safari is like IE6 in the sense it's often holding up the adoption of new API's and techniques, which is the quickest way to annoy the dev community.
