I really really want to switch to Safari but it sucks that they don't support custom new tab pages. That's really the dealbreaker for me

- EdwardDiego 6y agoIt also only supports one OS since like 2012 (at least in the past I could run the Windows release in Wine), which may seem like a weird complaint, but it sucks when I need to make sure our web page renders okay for the one business guy who uses Safari and I code on Arch. Thank God for Browserstack I guess.
- vanyaklimenko 6y agoEpiphany is what they call Safari on Linux: https://webkit.org/downloads https://webkit.org/downloads :-). It's slow but works well for testing and debugging Safari-specific issues.
- bilegeek 6y agoMidori also uses WebKit.
- cxr 6y agoSafari and Epiphany are two completely different browsers.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoEpiphany uses webkit, so it’s the same rendering engine.
- cxr 6y agoBoth being built on WebKit is different from both being the same browser, and even before the Blink split, behavior observed in Safari could differ from behavior observed in Chrome. Using observations of Epiphany as a proxy for Safari is just not reliable. I've seen differences between Epiphany and Safari without even trying—where it wasn't a matter of one being too outdated compared to the other.
- dewey 6y agoWhat kind of custom new tab page are you talking about? Like a custom URL? Because that's possible.
- _-o-_ 6y agoYou can set new tab pages to open homepage. And set homepage to a local html file.
