I have never understood the complaints about Safari and at this point it feels more like parroting than anything grounded in facts. Unless I am using Windows (which I use for anything except gaming sparingly) Safari is my primary browser on my Mac and I stick with it on my iPhone and iPad. It does what I need it to do and I never have issues as a user. It works with the plugins I need it to work with (mostly 1Password). I am sure there are genuine issues with the browser just like with any software, but it is already past "decent" and does its job. | ||

This CSS parses exactly the same in Firefox and Chrome? Not Safari, they decided to Think Different. My workplace's frontend codebase is absolutely polluted with /* Safari fix: ... */ https://www.google.com/search?q=examples%20of%20code%20that%... | ||
