Actually browser compatibility is not getting better, it is getting worse.

I was working for a firm last year that made a system with a browser front end that only supported Chrome and Safari, not Edge or Firefox -- this is happening everywhere, and it is why MS threw in the towel with Edge.

I don't think that anecdote fares well against the many ways in which browser compatibility has improved

Browser compatibility is better in early 2019 than I think it was in early 2011. I think it is worse than it was in early 2018.

Browser compatibility is improving because the incompatible browsers are dying off.
