"Safari is the new IE6, stop supporting it and let it die."
I can only assume you never went through the pain that IE6 delivered... It has been some years now but I still get nightmares about it. It literally made me question at one time if I didn't made the wrong choice to focus on web development.
Apple may be dragging its feet when adapting new api stuff, but the situation is by no means comparable as what the situation was with IE6. Not by a million miles.
- mcbits 10y agoIE6 wasn't so bad. It could do everything in 2001 that practically every site needs today, and pretty intuitively if you didn't also support other browsers. But dealing with emerging "standards compliant" browser bugs alongside "the de facto standard" IE6 bugs in the same code, and eschewing table layout before CSS was up to the task, that was a nightmare.
