The issue with beating chrome isn't feature parity, but overcoming the massive lock-in.

Not super active with Chrome, so what lock-ins are you referring to? Like password management and extensions?

Maybe the lock-in caused by Google (and others) making Chrome-only websites. But AFAIK its not brazen enough to exclude other Blink browsers.

Chrome often implements new browser features before other browsers. So, webapps are made with new features that aren't available in Safari, etc
