SafariI believe we have now moved past the peak and essence of this article, yet I’ll give some thoughts on browser players of lesser significance. Furthermore, I have to finish my tour of bashing every single tech giant, to ensure to never receive a job offer from any of them, ever. I don’t like loose ends.Safari, of course, has reached significant market share thanks to Apple’s mobile success, combined with a complete lock-down on which browsers users can install (or more accurately said, which browser engine they can use). Whilst not a force as dominant as Google, it’s a sizable force.We can once again go back to the simple observation that Microsoft and Mozilla can’t do such a push or lock-down, since they basically don’t exist on mobile. And this proves that the quality or features of a web browser hardly matter. Because if it did matter, Safari would be dead.Mobile Safari most certainly would not be a browser with 15% market share (much higher if you include mobile only) because it is so awesome. It’s not awesome. It’s a reasonably capable browser that lags behind Chrome, Firefox, and even Edge in terms of features and web standards support. Take any Chromium clone that has near zero market share and it is functionally and technically better than mobile Safari.Surely, Safari lagging behind has to be intentional. If you want to have an underwhelming experience, have a look at Safari’s release notes. Bugs are open for years and when a new web feature is shipped, it’s often incomplete, buggy, and unusable. If you’re in the game of trying to ship web apps at the quality level of a native app, your number one enemy will be mobile Safari.Apple, being a trillion dollar company, could out engineer Google just by having even deeper pockets. Or at least try to. They could also apply their much praised quality mindset to their browser. They don’t. They seem fine in it slugging along, in it being buggy. To invest just enough to not let it bleed to death, yet not enough to actually make it a powerful app platform. Because any platform that is powerful that is not owned by Apple itself, is not a priority, or even a threat.Once again I will say that the actual team behind the browser is not at fault, it never is. They mean well. They do support an open web. They are amazing engineers. It’s just that the mother ship holds them back, because interests don’t align. It happens in big corporations. I know, I work for one.meer...
Interessant , ik heb direct firefox voor mijn iPad gedownload. Zeer benieuwd of dit wat oplevert. Zelf moet ik mij ook schuldig maken aan het feit dat ik een chromium gebaseerde browser vivaldi gebruik en dit de diversiteit van de diverse engines niet ten goede komt. Zoals aangegeven hebben we op dit vlak met een benovelent dictator (Google) te maken en dat is ok, voorlopig.

Browser scores:Chrome 70: 344Firefox 63: 324Safari 12: 291Edge 18: 263The caniuse browser scores are tallies of all features tracked on caniuse (excluding those marked as "unofficial"). The fully opaque part represents supported features, the semi-transparent part represents partial support.Note that while caniuse tracks a wide variety of features, it only covers a subset of all web technologies so the scores are not 100% representative of any browser's capabilities.
Dan krijg je al heel snel dit soort niveau. Safari heeft nog steeds geen support voor input type date .... Drama bouwen, Safari is niet bij de tijd, blablabla. Ze gaan niet zoeken WAAROM dit nog steeds niet is want dan vinden ze misschien een goed argument en dan moeten ze iets nieuws zoeken.
Beetje off-topic, maar ik liep laatst precies tegen het voorbeeld dat je noemt aan (ontbreken van Dat-inputtype) bij het maken van een website.
Zeg jij nu dat er een goed argument zou kunnen zijn waarom dat niet in Safari zit?
