as is tradition already, webkit is missing:
- full PWA
- ServiceWorkers
- VP8/9
- webvr
- and many others
this could all be mitigated if aapl would let us install custom non-webkit browsers on ios. unfortunately it seems we will need the courts to force aapl.
- shantly 7y agoIncidentally, is there a way to disable service workers on desktop Safari? Twitter’s went rogue the other day and started eating a whole core, non-stop. I don’t want or need them. Ever. Hopefully mobile safari doesn’t let developers do that to my phone, too.
- xena 7y agoiOS already has progressive web app support
- kmlx 7y agonot full support, no
- acdha 7y agoWho’d benefit if they did? iOS users would benefit from AV1 but the only thing VP8/9 would add for web users is security exposure and lower battery life. Everyone serving video on the web already has equivalent quality H.264/H.265 and the next big change should be moving into the future with AV1 rather than spending millions to implement previous generations of codecs. Similarly, as a developer I like the idea of Service Workers but as a user I’m forced to note that the only thing they seem to have added to my web experience are sites breaking in a way which requires more than a reload to fix.
