    WebKit has a history of rendering bugs that are almost IE6/IE7 levels of bizarre (you could even say that Safari and Chrome are the IE6 of the modern web), and behaving in ways that deviate from the standard for no particular reason. IE has been much better since version 9, so while the ancient versions ought to die already, I don't see any reason for the hate for its recent versions. And I certainly don't see why people support the idea of a WebKit/Blink monoculture (the comments here are probably in jest, but I've heard of people who seriously believe in it).

    That being said, background-clip: text is super awesome and they should consider it (or something similar like text-decoration-background) for a level 4 module. Commented May 13, 2014 at 5:40

    Yeah, I'd be happier if blink/webkit died and modern IE's+FF rendering engines survived than the other way around. Which isn't to say that the rest of chrome isn't nice, just that its rendering is pretty much the worst of the bunch nowadays. Commented May 13, 2014 at 9:44
  • @DA: Sure. Blink is still very similar to webkit, however, and the dubious behavior isn't all post-fork, so I'm no so sure it's worth making the distinction very strongly. Nevertheless, safari does appear slightly less buggy. Commented May 14, 2014 at 20:07
  • If you remove display: inline-block; from the css, then selection works nicely with multiple characters, e.g. <h1>X</h1><h1>Y</h1><h1>Z</h1>. Commented Feb 27, 2015 at 12:43
