Mobile safari… since it’s the only engine on iOS … that ends up being a good chunk of users depending on your user base probably many try to use your website on an iPhone … if blink engine was allowed by apple on iOS - safari would die tomorrow
- Mikeb85 5y agoAnd if enough developers simply ignored Safari then maybe it would force Apple to either simply adhere to web standards or allow competing browser engines... Catering to them signals that their shitty behaviour is condoned.
- cirrus3 5y agoIt is the Mobile Safari engine... "simply ignored Safari" = "simply ignore iPhone users".
- Mikeb85 5y agoApple's the one ignoring them by shipping them a broken browser.
- katbyte 5y agousers won't see it like that
- meepmorp 5y agoThis is the kind of thing that only web devs care about. If someone can't use your web app on their phone, they're going to never try your app again, not demand changes to the browser.
- bengale 5y agoIt's generally the first thing we check for when trialling new software. Does it work in Chrome/FF/Safari and on iOS/Android. If not then we won't continue the trial.
- thesuperbigfrog 5y agoHard for developers to ignore when the developers' manager is using an iPhone or iPad. Who will the developers' manager blame: Apple or the developers?
