Couldn't agree more. These days, I simply tell my clients I won't bother supporting Safari.
I burnt my finger once with Service Workers[1]. "Oh, but I use Safari as my primary browser" doesn't hold anymore, because, you're not the majority. Sorry. [2]
I second it. Safari is the new IE.

- mcintyre1994 9y agoDoes this include iOS Safari?
- ssalka 9y agoIf you go to that link, it lists both Safari and iOS Safari versions - it looks like neither of the next versions (v11) will have service worker support yet
- mcintyre1994 9y agoOops I didn't notice that would be so unclear, I was referring to the parent's "I won't bother supporting Safari". I'd be surprised if no iOS support is generally considered acceptable for websites.
- coldtea 9y ago>"Oh, but I use Safari as my primary browser" doesn't hold anymore, because, you're not the majority. Sorry. I second it. Safari is the new IE. How IE became IE-the-problem, is because users rushed to support IE-only features, not caring for browsers that were "not the majority". Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
