> But it is nothing in comparison of safari which is pathetically behind blink and gecko feature wise. It's a shame that the most popular websites don't team up to block safari and ask to install a browser that supports web standards. YouTube did this with a version of IE and weeks after they were followed by thousands of websites not supporting this antic version.
What about iOS? There's no alternative.
- The_rationalist 7y agoThere's no alternative until there's one. If the web stopped working on Apple devices do you imagine the public reaction? Apple would be humiliated and would instantly indeed allow to install other browsers. But we don't need to go so fast. Firstly the web should block desktop safari, then laptop safaris. We wait that Apple fixe it's OS. Then we do the same on IOS waiting for the same "fixe" Instead of making apple bend the knee, the web got broken for GPUs with the shitshow that is webgpu (which is the intersection of features from metal, Vulkan and dx12) instead of doing a webVulkan which is well supported on all OSes except Apple because they choose to make the world a worse place. Google lack balls. Mozilla too.
- cameronbrown 7y agoMore likely: News publishers would see their ad revenue tank as iOS users tend to have more money/more valuable audience, consumers would get extremely annoyed at having their device gimped for no reason ('it worked yesterday') and are further driven into the app ecosystem, which helps Apple and harms the open web.
