This thread exists because Apple didn't have a single test that creates an indexdb (or releases to users with broken tests) breaking the web and already developed sites.
So foisting the blame on webdevs by calling them lazy feels a bit out of place.
Apple has underinvested in Safari for years. It is clear that they have no intention in setting the direction for the web.
- jolux 5y agoI think it would be bad if Chrome became the only browser worth supporting, as disappointing as it is that Safari has these problems.
- ajuc 5y agoChrome 69.28% Edge 7.75% Firefox 7.48% Internet Explorer 5.21% Safari 3.71 % Why would Safari be the one that's important and not firefox? And why would it mean that Apple gets to be an asshole about it?
- jolux 5y agoFirefox is important too (I use Firefox on desktop and Safari on iPhones), but Safari has a much higher percentage of mobile traffic (20% iirc). Edge is re-skinned Chrome these days. As for why Apple gets to be an “asshole,” there’s no specific privilege granted, inconsistencies are just the nature of the web platform. They probably don’t devote enough resources to minimizing them, but that’s tangential.
