The problem with all of this shit is that the EU is only measuring sentiment from developers, not end users. End users are happy with Safari. Developers are the only ones who care about any of the rest of this.
- carapace 4y agoIf the users prefer Safari they can keep using it, no?
- sbuk 4y ago“This website only works on Chrome.” will be the new "Best viewed in Interet Explorer"
- carapace 4y agoThey can run both Chrome and Safari?
- finiteseries 4y agoYou can also list/lookup businesses on Facebook and eg Bebo, but factors that run contrary to user desire and performative obtuseness remove utility from one over time.
- carapace 4y ago"performative obtuseness"? I do not understand what you are saying. - - - - Ah, I think I get it. You're saying that Chrome would beat Safari if they were both available?
- finiteseries 4y agoPlease respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. You’re capable of more, we’re capable of more, this entire thread of yours is beneath us all.
- carapace 4y agoEh? I did my best to understand what you wrote. I honestly found your language difficult to parse. This is obviously a complex topic with a lot of strongly held views. For me personally it's a rare case where I haven't yet developed firm views of my own. FWIW, I'm not particularly happy with the way this sub-thread has gone, but I found it stimulating at least. YMMV.
- izacus 4y agoFirefox works just fine so stop with this dumb unfounded hyperbole.
- sbuk 4y agoMy goodness, the cognative dissonance is dumbfounding.
- Apocryphon 4y agoSo is the unsubstantiated FUD.
- izacus 4y agoSpoken by people who want to eliminate competition of richest corporation on the planet because they're apparently not capable of building a competitive product (despite being the Best at Everything and being able to shove down authentication APIs and payment systems down everyones throat).
- woojoo666 4y agoThe EU is going after Google too. They might require Google to stop adding so many new features to Chrome so Safari and Firefox can catch up. Though would be a very tricky situation
- Gunnerhead 4y ago> They might require Google to stop adding so many new features to Chrome so Safari and Firefox can catch up I'm genuinely not sure if this is satire or not.
- woojoo666 4y agoIt's a well known problem. Chrome pushes tons of features into "web standards" since they have disproportionate power in the space, and then developers use the features because they are "web standards", and now there are websites that only support Chrome.
- sunflowerfly 4y agoChrome is becoming the new Internet Explorer. They are adding features the marketers want regardless if it is good for privacy or other ecosystems. We are already seeing websites and services that only work correctly in Chrome. Safari is the only viable competition.
- carapace 4y ago> Chrome is becoming the new Internet Explorer. They are adding features the marketers want regardless if it is good for privacy or other ecosystems. We are already seeing websites and services that only work correctly in Chrome. Okay. Granted. So what? IE died. > Safari is the only viable competition. Is it? It seems to me that it's not competing with Chrome if you can't run Chrome on your iPhone.
- emkoemko 4y agoSafari is today's IE no one wants that crap anymore.
- d12bb 4y agoSafari has better UI and less battery use on my Mac. On the iPhone and iPad it just has better UI, hard to compare battery use without engine alternative. I want that crap.
- emkoemko 4y agothats fine you like it but its not keeping up with Firefox or Chromium and webkit it is becoming a security and horrible experience like IE was.
