The argument which has been provided so far about why Safari is crippled is that it does not implement non-standard Chromium-only features. There are other problems with Safari, but they are not found in the page we are discussing.
- rejhgadellaa 7mo agoI compiled a "short" list of why amd how Safari is crippled. Not entirely on topic for the post, but seems appropriate as a reply on this particular comment ;) https://webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show-stoppers https://webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show...
- archerx 7mo agoThis is excellent!
- troupo 7mo agoThis article is quite literally the only one that actually discusses actual Safari problems. And even this article falls prey to "failures in web platform tests" which are a very poor indicator. E.g. Safari passing all accessibility tests is much more important than Safari failing most accelerometer tests that only Chrome passes (because this is Chrome-only API).
- rejhgadellaa 7mo agoThe WPT graph shows failures for tests that fail in only one browser. So the accelerometer tests, for example, would need to pass in both Blink and Gecko for it to count as a failure on Safari's part.
