The battle for browser hegemony has come to an end since Web2.0, and each browser has accumulated a certain number of supporters. From IE, which has always been made into memes, to Apple’s own browser Safari, Google Chrome, which came after the browser war, or Microsoft’s newly built Edge after abandoning IE, these can be said to be the most popular on the market. browser.
Safari sucks, the new IE at all?
However, Apple’s own browser Safari seems to be on the decline recently. Even Jen Simmons of the Web Developer Experience Team of Safari and WebKit said on Twitter:“A lot of people tell me that Safari is the worst browser, the new IE.”With such a new title, she couldn’t help calling for more feedback from users, preferably with clear bugs so they could speed up their fixes.
In addition, you can also contact her through the link of bugs.webkit.org or Apple’s feedback assistant, so that she can investigate more carefully. The behavior of soliciting feedback from users has also received positive responses from netizens.
Everyone in my mentions saying Safari is the worst, it’s the new IE… Can you point to specific bugs & missing support that frustrate you, inhibit you making websites/apps. Bonus points for links to tickets.
Specifics we can fix. Vague hate is honestly super counterproductive.
