The Tragedy of Safari – why it doesn't get respect
- raxxorrax 5y agoSafari is indeed decent considering it is housed in such a locked down system. But how often did I wish to jsut be able to open the browser console on an iPad. Probably possible if you jump through 101 hoops, but I really think this should be possible by default. A lot of people rely on you to fix their devices or problems with random websites, but Apple really doesn't make that easy.
- theamk 5y agoI don't get author's point -- they say it themselves, "Apple will want to ensure it doesn’t become too capable." Why would one respect something that is deliberately crippled for no good reason? It is bad for technical users, bad for non-technical users, bad for web developers, bad for businesses.. (One could argue that we need a "counter-weight" to Chrome and browser diversity is good... but this is not an argument author is making)
- yashasolutions 5y ago> bad for businesses.. well it is good for Apple's business. Which is made clear by the author. But I agree I don't get the point of the article either.
- wdb 5y agoPersonally I think it's a great browser and I am using it to consume internet content. I am using Edge for development, though. Safari appears to be much easier on the battery of my Mac
