    What gets me is when websites don’t work on Safari. Really? Like a significant portion of traffic is to iOS, it’s a single browser you have to target, on millions of devices. And you couldn’t even make it work there.

    Web dev today is a bunch of crap.

      Blame apple, unless you’re expecting every single web dev in the world to buy a mac just for QA

      As a web developer, I agree

      But ensuring full compatibility with all three major engines (those being gecko, blink and webkit) is unnecessarily hard, as they have their own subset of features

      For example: Webkit does not support extending built-in HTML elements using WebComponent, but Gecko and Blink do support this feature. Or Chrome being the only browser that fully supports the View Transitions API. Or webkit’s CSS vendor prefixes

      The list goes on and on.

      You could fix most of these issues by providing polyfills, but that increases the amount of files that you have to load in order to make a feature work on other browsers.

      If only there was some sort of standard… Oh wait, there is one, W3C. Idk what they are doing tho.
