Also you can't test on it without paying them thousands of dollars for hardware.
I remember maintaining a bunch of sites and university, and while IE11 was missing a couple of APIs (like Promise) at least I could download a VM straight from Microsoft and figure out what was going wrong. I still have no way to test on Safari which is becoming more and more annoying as they "fall" behind.
- candiddevmike 6y agoI learned that on Linux, GNOME Web (Epiphany) is basically Safari. It will exhibit most of the quirks and rendering issues, and it has a decent dev console. It definitely helps avoid paying the Apple tax.
- The_rationalist 6y agoYeah but webkit on Linux is basically unmaintained / untested and therefore there can be many confusing webkit Linux only bugs
- saagarjha 6y agoThe Igalia team maintains WebKit for GTK+ (among many other platforms). They are certainly smaller and more resource-starved than Apple, but they do a fairly decent job of keeping it running.

- Lammy 6y agoIt's called KHTML, but yes. Apple's fork is WebKit/WebCore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#WebCore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#WebCore KHTML isn't officially dead, but it's also not very active: https://phabricator.kde.org/source/khtml/history/master/ https://phabricator.kde.org/source/khtml/history/master/
