Open the site in Chromium. Yep it works. Open the site in Firefox. Yep it works. Open the site in Safari. Ugh... it's broken.
This is unacceptable from professional developers. Progressive enhancement is a thing.
Apple announced at last year’s WWDC (https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10663) the areas where they improved interoperability with other browsers and that Safari passed 140,000 interoperability tests:
We made a really big effort this year to improve Safari's interoperability with other browsers. One way to measure that is web platform tests. It's a set of tests used by browser makers to ensure interoperability, so your web content operates the way you expect across browsers. So I'm pleased to announce improved interoperability for service workers, XHR + Fetch, pointer events, CSS, SVG, web assembly, and many more areas. Safari passes a hundred and forty thousand new interoperability test cases this year.
And you can look forward to continued progress in this area.
