It's not the site that's broken, but Safari.
- scotty79 12y agoWhat's broken is not Safari but people who buy Macs. ... I can't go any deeper. Still I'd like my site to look good to a meaningful market share.
- yAnonymous 12y agoTrue, but I wouldn't say 4% is a meaningful market share, so fuck Safari. It's the new Internet Explorer. Leaving the sites broken in Safari (and maybe adding a notice that explains why it's broken) also helps keeping it at 4%.
- extra88 12y agoSafari is also the native browser for iOS. I don't know where you got 4% from but Safari (both for OS X and iOS) is more than 4% market share.
- mrspeaker 12y agoAs a web dev, I get it - but if you have a million visitors then you're saying "fuck you" to 40,000 people. If I was _paying_ a web dev, I'm not sure I'd be satisfied with this response.
- supercoder 12y agoFor starters the market share is far higher than 4% on the desktop, and even more when looking at the mobile / tablet market. It's more like Chrome is the new Internet Explorer, because lazy web developers decide to only target it, so we end up with sites specific to one web browser.
- yAnonymous 12y agoYeah, the 4% was wrong, sorry. Anyway, things seem to just work in FF and Chrome, but Safari often requires fixing because of bugs, missing features or Apple doing things differently for no reason. It's annoying. And like Microsoft, they are so damn slow to release updates and older machines don't even get any.
