Safari is at a disadvantage - it's behind a walled garden and people outside of that garden don't develop or test for it. Sure, that's a trivial issue for a company but not for small team or single person projects. Not to men

I'd gladly pay not to see ads on a site that has content worth seeing. Facebook and Instagram are not one of those.

I'd go a step further and say this is how you should write all of your code because realistically every single function/class is its own little API.
