- graeme 7y agoExactly this. Also some SASS sites have mysterious bugs that don’t occur on desktop safari on a mac. Am talking about layout bugs, or buttons not working, or a text cursor vanishing. You can get around this with icab mobile, but having desktop safari would fix a lot.
- tambourine_man 7y agoI didn’t know iCab was still around. Fond memories.
- saagarjha 7y agoI think this is largely Google Docs's fault, even if it's something that Safari can fix.
- jxdxbx 7y agoAccording to fairly reliable sources, iPad Safari on the next version of iOS will pretend to be Mac Safari for certain sites. The only things that don't work perfectly on mobile Safari that I know of involve hoverovers, naturally. The next version of iOS will also have optional mouse/trackpad support, so that might be taken care of as well.
