Looking forward to hearing people complain about Safari not supporting the APIs that the Google team just decided one day that they were going to make and deploy. Everyone complains about Safari holding the web back, but not enough people complain about Google rushing forwards as fast as possible to create breaking APIs to fragment web apps in a way that benefits their own browser and services ecosystem.

WebCodecs has Mozilla and Microsoft coauthors: https://w3c.github.io/webcodecs/ https://w3c.github.io/webcodecs/ WebGPU was chartered in 2017, with more Apple people in the initial membership than Mozilla or Google people: https://gpuweb.github.io/admin/cg-charter.html https://gpuweb.github.io/admin/cg-charter.html Google specifically has approached Apple for input about scheduler.postTask(), and they say they've presented the proposal before at a working group that Apple is part of: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-June/031912.html https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-June/0319... I won't disagree that there's a ton that can be improved about the process, but it seems pretty unsubstantiated to claim that Google is "rushing forwards as fast as possible" given that they've been spending years working on these APIs in public. You can see from the rest of the post that they're running some experiments which they're specifically choosing not to enable by default, though they could.

Safari IOS is 10 times worse than IE, mozilla and chrome are just wrappers around a safari webview
