The article characterizes the Web Share API as “Poorly supported” but it’s actually not that far behind the others in terms of % global usage:
Page Visibility API 98%
Web Share API 90%
Broadcast Channel API 93%
Internationalization API 98%
- masklinn 4y agoThe difference is in breadth: - Page Visiblility is fully supported by all browsers except Opera Mini, and has been for a while - Same with Intl (aditionally except KaiOS) - Broadcast is supported by everyone but Opera Mini and Internet Explorer - Web Share is only fully supported by Safari, Edge, and some Android browsers (Chrome, Samsung, Firefox, Opera Mobile), Chrome only has partial support because only Windows and ChromeOS That means you can use the first 3 rather reliably, while Web Share is a lot more of a crapshoot.
