Using Dark Mode in CSS with MacOS Mojave

If you can justify dozens of CSS adjustments for IE11, it isn't much of a stretch to spend half that amount of time making something cool for (typically) higher value Safari users as well.

What do you mean by "higher value"? Getting IE11 to work will net you an extra 2.85% of the market, but adding a very minor feature that's only usable by Safari users doesn't seem to be profitable at all.

Why is that? According to [1] Safari has 14% market share. Just the desktop version has 5%.

By higher value, I mean they spend more money.

Not sure if you could back that up. I assume you say this because tech-savvy people will not use IE?

But that is assuming the content is aimed at this group.

I imagine that they’re saying Safari users are generally of a “more valuable” demographic (maybe because they’re rich enough to afford Macs?)
