Even though the other browser vendors have positive reaction, note how this follows the same pattern Chrome has followed for over a decade: - scribble on a napkin (explainer) - ask others for their position - ship regardless of position or

Safari's dev tools are infuriatingly cumbersome in comparison to Chrome. They go out of their way to make even the simplest actions hidden in multiple selects and popup menus. I even made a screencast of it: https://x.com&#x

Thank you! This will likely have a lot of false positives on a lot of genres. E.g. I suspect genres like synthpop and trance (and a lot of other electronic music) will likely hit a lot of those points with regards to music and sampling. Lyr
