I've always been a Linux user, but recently I got a new Macbook Air and wanted to try a non-Chrome browser. Then I loaded up my 2005-vintage personal wiki which has been working fine for 15 years on all the browsers I use (Chrome and Firefox). And it has a tabindex bug in Safari! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1848390/safari-ignoring-tabindex https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1848390/safari-ignoring-... I'm not sure but isn't this a violation of the spec? Or is there some newer thing for tabindex? Either way I switched back to Firefox and Chrome. I kinda like the idea of a browser that doesn't implement all the Chrome crap. But I also feel like it should interpret 15 year old pages correctly!

I'm confused, you said there's a bug but as far as I can tell it's just that Safari disables using "tab" for more than form elements by default.

  It might not be a bug in the sense that it's a spec violation, but it's behavior that every other browser I've used for 15 years has. If this were a commercial product (my wiki), there would be a bug in the tracker for it :) In the link people have given JS workarounds.
