If you're a professional and don't test Safari, you're not being professional. Don't have a Mac? Use https://www.browserstack.com or similar. Don't want to bother? Then, yeah, you're lazy.

I don't have a Windows machine. I still test against Edge. No Android phone. Still test against a range of them. How? See above.

"Therefore, for me to test on Safari, I either have to... pay out of my pocket for some sort of cross-browser testing tool (even if it's free, I am spending extra time)"

That's precisely the 'lazy web developer' that they're talking about. Oh god no, you have to test on a browser you don't use.

Sure Chrome is dominant, but Safari has about 15% of the market so by taking the stance you do, you're dismissing 1 of 6 people. Because you're lazy.

Sure there is. People can pay for the products made by a business. Individuals don't have a right to the products that others make; if they want to have those products and don't want ads, then they need to ante up and pay money for the product and that money needs to be enough that the creator of the product can keep creating more products and support the customers who've already bought.

But it seems to be too much for her. To quote "$1.50 is a lot to pay for a song, even a song you love..."
