Did no one at Google read this blog post on an iPhone before publishing?

I mean, if you're using a legacy browser engine like safari, that's on you or on apple, not google. All modern browser engines render this blog post just fine, including firefox, chrome, and w3m.

Knowing safari, there's already a bug filed for this behavior which is 6 years old and no one will ever look at or fix since safari on iOS has no competition and thus never has to actually fix bugs (and due to how progressive web apps work, fixing bugs actually takes away from apple's bottom line since safari is competing with the app store, their golden goose).

There's not really any point in supporting a browser engine that's closed source, changes at a whim, can't be compiled on linux to run in CI, and is built by a company that's actively hostile to web standards.

If you want to use the internet with a properly functioning browser and an iPhone, may I suggest moving to the EU where you'll soon be able to run other browser engines

Nah. Every other website on the internet can figure out how to overcome those allegedly insurmountable challenges, so how about I continue using Safari and they do the same.

Perhaps spend less time worrying about changing the color of the YouTube logo for no tangible reason.

It's a blog post not the dashboard of starship enterprise.

I don't know if your comment is satire.
