Not unpopular, just unrealistic. You can't do it on an iPhone, and if you're doing local web development you really ought to be checking it on an iPhone.

If you're doing local web development, then running the iOS simulator will give you the necessary Safari iOS Web view controls.

It won't get you the necessary touch interactions if you're doing something that uses them, though.

Broadly speaking, you want to test on the actual device your users are using, not an approximation of one.
