Yup. When you ask people "what exactly so horrible about Safari", WebPush is inevitably the number one thing, followed by a bunch of Chrome non-standards like hardware APIs.

You mean Web Workers that were available in Safari since version 4?
Or Shared Web Workers that were originally implemented in Safari version 5? No idea why they got removed to re-appear later, and I honestly can't care: I prefer browsers to be careful with standards than just rush forward.
Why is it that these "examples" are never actual examples?
The only pages that don't work in it are developed by people who believe that Chrome-only APIs are standard.
