> Apple absolutely dominates browser engines Where? > In my market (mostly in the UK) Therein, as the bard would tell us, lies the rub. UK is a bunch of islands. Unless you are building super localised products, the world is a big place with a lot of people who don't use iOS. In case you didn't know.

Unless you are building super localised products, the world is a big place with a lot of people who don't use iOS. You have purposely quoted my comment out of order, implying that I’m unaware of how geography and market effect browser usage, when that’s literally my point and Safari does dominate in some areas. >In case you didn't know. Is that tone really necessary?

  Yes that tone was absolutely neccesary because you wrote > I cannot understand why devs (with Macs) don't all do their initial development with Safari then test in Firefox/Chrome. Seems completely backwards to do your development mostly with Chrome. I do 98% of my dev with a MBP. I hate it but its a work laptop. That being the case, we build products used in multiple continents and Safari has never been first. At best, 3rd. So no sir, we aren't doing things backwards.

So, you have a different experience to me, which is the literal point, and in fact to the global average where Safari is very much second: https://gs.statcounter.com/ https://gs.statcounter.com/

      That's really interesting, I also have a feeling that the percentage of Safari users that spend money on the internet, is bigger than that share on Chrome
