Notably missing Safari and WebKit
- Jtsummers 4mo agoI was surprised by that omission in this blog as well. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share Safari makes up a sizeable percentage of the market share so skipping WebKit here is a strange choice.
- d3Xt3r 4mo agoWebKit isn't really independent - while it is technically opensource, it is effectively controlled by Apple. In fact, Apple were the ones who originally forked it from KHTML. They continue to be majority contributors and drive the product roadmap. On the other hand, there's Ladybird, Servo and Chawan which are indie, and although they're still in alpha - depending on the sites you browse daily (like HN - which works fine), you might be able to use one of these as a daily-driver.
