Yes, you are right, I really love to hear that. But as a webdeveloper my first task after I write some code is to test it in a webkit browser. Webkit is everywhere iPad, iPhone, Chrome, Safari, ( now Opera ). I think bad developers will start to exclude other engines support if percentage of non-webkit browsers goes very low. And since a lot of websites are coded from amateurs ( there's nothing wrong to this ) there will be more and more webkit-optimized content. That's sad!
- gcp 14y agoNote that there's some fragmentation in WebKit as well. I think that developers that assume it will make their lives a lot easier will be slightly disappointed in the end.
- jaytaylor 14y ago>> I think bad developers will start to exclude other engines support if percentage of non-webkit browsers goes very low. Bad developers are already ignoring everything except whatever single browser they [might have] tested in. This move certainly is unsettling, but I think you can come up with a better argument about why.
- bzbarsky 14y agoIt's not just amateurs. The "mobile" sites out there are overwhelmingly WebKit-only. We're talking sites from Google, Disney, Apple, various news sites, etc, not sites done by amateurs. And they're not accidentally WebKit-only in many cases, but deliberately so.
