If chrome advances it does not matter. The lowest common denominator would be safari specifically ios safari. Until it adopts we would have to code to it's standard.
- pjmlp 6y agoSafari only matters in 10% of the world, plenty of countries don't need to worry with customers using Safari, as no one uses any kind of Apple product and those companies have more than enough to do with their local markets.
- hesarenu 6y ago10% is still a big big big number. You can't ignore it. When website fails on someones safari you can't just say we did not consider anyone using safari or iphone. You always try to make it work on most browsers.
- pjmlp 6y agoSure we can, as mentioned, there are hundreds of countries with zero presence of Apple hardware, and not everyone is playing Amazon selling to the whole world. Local market is more than enough to keep ones busy and profitable. See how many companies in Africa, South America or Eastern Europe countries actually care to buy Apple hardware to test Safari.
- hesarenu 6y agoAnd there are hundreds with Apple hardware even once which cause an issue. It might be ok for corporate to dictate browsers but other can't ignore any percentage of browsers. I see many comments on how it works only on chrome, you would assume that we should ignore that since it majority why should be optimize for others. See we even can't optimize for chrome since we have safari which has some functionality not present.
- pjmlp 6y agoDevelopers that keep pushing for Chrome are the ones to blame to start with. Happy Firefox user here since Netscape Navigator days.
- hesarenu 6y agoOn mobile blame goes to Apple for not allowing other engines. You could have used Firefox in iOS devices as well.
- pjmlp 6y agoThat is what saves the day of Safari actually being relevant at all, instead of Chrome overall. I am an happy Firefox user, but don't fool myself, without Safari, Web === ChromeOS.
- names_are_hard 6y agoNit: There aren't hundreds of countries that have zero presence of Apple hardware because there aren't hundreds of countries in the world. Depending on how you count, the are about 195 countries in the world today. I think you need at least 200 to say "hundreds" and even then it's a stretch.
- pjmlp 6y agoThanks, but that is a form of speech, doesn't mean necessarily a numeric value. :) https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/hundred https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/hundred > If you refer to hundreds of things or people, you are emphasizing that there are very many of them.
