Re:Safari’s SVG performance is brutal on Tuesday August 30, 2022 @04:20AM (#32647944)
Oh no, don't say that, you'll get downvoted by the hardcore Apple fans, and the "but it saves battery" or the "webkit fights browser monopoly" or the "i want to feel special so I don't agree that Safari is the new IE" crowds. Safari has known unsolved issues from 2015 and developing anything with complex enough user interaction for iOS is just painful.
Re:Using: Has() as a CSS Parent Selector and much more on Saturday August 20, 2022 @09:13AM (#32531838)
I wish Safari developers would spend their valuable time on fixing the horror Safari is. It's literally the new Internet Explorer. If you work on building web apps with complex interactions, animations, etc, you get to hate Safari with all your heart in a very short amount of time.

There are things they've done that are amazing, and which I respect (like JavaScriptCore), but overall Safari is the worst popular browser. I don't get how people can stand it, but again I don't get how people can stand iOS either.

Looks great on desktop, but crashes Chrome on Android (beefy specs). Great work and awesome topic anyway!
+1 whereby is absolutely amazing, no-crap UX and great performance

Once a year I switch to Wayland for a few hours to see if I can get my work done on it, and the result is always negative.

How is it ok for a serious company to claim that their solution is the "fastest on the web", as if nobody else can hit the same performance marks?

And what's with the code? Why not use TypeScript, at least?
