Those websites you mention are written by the same people coming here to complain about Safari does not support $some_new_chrome_feature and that they’ve stopped caring for Safari (web interoperability).
Public example: Context menu - copy message link to clipboard - on discord doesn’t work in safari.
I created a bug for their bugzilla, turned out that bug is fixed some time ago. BUT NOONE CAN TELL ME WHEN ILL SEE IT FIXED on my device.
If I open 15-20 Freshdesk tickets in a row each in new tab, safari slows down as hell.
If I use the same page on Confluence for 30 minutes editing it without refreshing, at some point safari will start saying that THIS PAGE eats too much power it might need refreshing.
I as a user do not care.
Ah one more, safari 14 after initial release had a bug with scrolling on Mac and it took them 7 months to push this fix from nightly version to stable. SEVEN.
