Former Safari engineer here.
There is not one iota of truth to that statement.
- thefounder 2y agoWhy has indexedDb been handicapped for so long?
- Miraste 2y agoSaid more neutrally, Safari is far behind all the other major web browsers in standards implementation and dev friendliness. As an outsider, I also assumed this was to preserve app store revenue. If it's not, could you share some insight on why it happens?
- cjk 2y ago“Far behind” is perhaps an overstatement, especially today. Things have rapidly improved in recent years, with a _lot_ of time and energy being spent on spec compliance and interop (see https://wpt.fyi/interop-2024 https://wpt.fyi/interop-2024).
- hn_version_0023 2y agoDon’t believe ones lying eyes eh? There is plenty of reason to believe this may be the case and your refutation offers nothing to make anyone think otherwise. I am willing to listen if you’re willing to speak?
- nverba 2y agoI certainly hope it's not true. But I can also understand how it's hard not to be a little salty. After a decade of development experience, it certainly feels like IOS Safari has consistently made life more difficult when developing web apps.
