> iOS Safari lacks js web workers, webgl 2, WebRTC data channel, and many many others Are you referring to service workers? I've been using web workers on iOS

  Mozilla [1] lists webworker support on iOS to be basic, clearly lagging in compliance. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Using_web_workers https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers...

    I started to find the compliance tables on MDN outdated. I am not sure how they are being updated but my guess is that it is manual and needs to be revisited.

    > clearly lagging in compliance What is missing is shared workers support (and producing output from console.log in web workers). Of the two, shared workers would be a particularly useful feature, as it would in theory enable different browser tabs to utilize a shared, potentially resource hungry script, as per the Mozilla description at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SharedWorker https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SharedWorke... The devs at Apple claims that this use case is not relevant and/or better served by Service Workers (which is even less supported). Not sure I understand their reasoning. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116359 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116359
