Apple seems to be the only browser developer that makes user-centric changes first, not developer-centric.

I'm OK with that.

It seems user-centric to you know... make the browser work for what users what to use it for. Like generating digits of pi.

Yes I'm sure there's a lot of consumers that want to calculate large amounts of digits of Pi in their browser..

Safari also does releases less often than Chrome/Firefox. They are behind, but not by that much.

Will adding developer-centric features help reduce vulnerabilities? Generally adding any feature would increase vulnerabilities because of the increased surface area.
