- themadturk 2y agoUgh, sorry, the grammatical issue with this article made it difficult to read, though the actual content may be valuable.
- mikestew 2y agoJust the one grammatical issue, huh? Seems a bit overly-critical.
- themadturk 2y agoNo, there were lots of them. Sentence fragments were especially egregious. It felt like someone was was pausing a video every few seconds.
- tangue 2y agoI support the conclusion, but khtml should have been mentioned somewhere.
- Arainach 2y agoSafari gets far more respect than it deserves. Its refusal to implement standards and features (while being installed on sufficient devices) holds the web ecosystem back in the same way IE6 did. Safari is a painful nuisance, and we'd all be better off if Apple just shipped Firefox on their devices. (I work for a company that makes a browser that is neither Firefox nor Safari, all opinions solely my own)
- LinuxAmbulance 2y agoSafari exists only to allow me to download Firefox, much like IE / Edge. Joking, but not entirely. I love my Macbook, but every time I've used Safari, it's felt clunky and more awkward to use than Firefox or Chrome.
- theragra 2y agoRespect? I remember when I got my first and last iPhone - 3g - I found that safari cannot reflow page text to the phone screen. Either tiny zoom and unreabable text, or constant horizontal scrolling. Even first primitive android browser on motorola can do that. Since then, I lost all respect for apple and never had an iphone. And this, imo, is as basic feature, as they get. It is needed by any person with non ideal eyesight for any non responsive page, which for along time was the majority of them.
