Webkit is missing a _lot_ of useful features. Safari not implementing something doesn't have to mean its dead. It just means iOS users will be forced to download a separate app to interact with Bluetooth devices via the web.

Do they provide such a low level API to usual mortal developers? This isn't going to be nice and comfy in terms of usability if it happens the way you describe.

Do you have a source for that?

I think he refers to https://webkit.org/status/#?status=not%20considering

Sorry for not linking it. Thank you guzik for doing what I should've done. That's the link I meant.

Webkit itself is very likely to die xD. Who uses safari nowadays?

I would not say it's likely to die because it's obviously false since on iOS it's the only choice but it's true that when you see the release logs of Safari, it's moving very slowly very far behind Chrome or Firefox.

Safari has 15% of the browser market share (https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share) (including mobile). WebKit will probably be fine for the foreseeable future.

Anyone on macOS who values battery life and system responsiveness.
