Devtools on Safari have been a joke for 5 years now. Ever since they split from Chrome and went down the Xcode "fancy" route, I have not been able to accomplish anything debugging in that browser.

They never split from Chrome. Chrome forked WebKit into Blink because Apple's wasn't merging Google's patches

  Not sure why you're getting downvoted but this is correct. KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink.

    He's getting downvoted because people misunderstand what he means. Real debugging requires the xcode tools , not the built in 'web developer' garbage.

    And now we only can only hope for the next iteration to take over: KHTML → WebKit → Blink → Edge

      Unlikely, given how Edge just migrated to Blink itself.

        I think the point your parent comment is making is that Microsoft may break away from Blink just like Google broke away from Webkit.

  There were many reasons for the split, but as far as I know this was not one of them. There was no patch backlog, and there were many reviewers on the Chrome team. I think it was a combo of desire for control and debates over various architectural approaches.

> Ever since they split from Chrome WOW, talk about revisionism! Chrome/Chromium was based on WebKit! Unless you mean something else?
