Safari is the new Internet Explorer.

Change my mind!

It's not "new". 🙂

You are right.

No we're not going to charge your mind, it's a fact.

Ie fucks over web standards for no reason. Safari fucks over web standards for speed. Safari is faster than chrome even on a mac, and the only thing that can compete with it is newborn quantum flow Firefox engine written in a language that hadn’t existed when safari was developed. And animations are still smoother in safari no matter what.

So use Firefox I guess, and btw if you write your code without goddamn hacks, it works in safari. It has some annoyances like needing to create an audio element and a button if you want an automatic playback, but the list is short and there are polyfills.

For all my career I never had a safari-specific problem.

@uyouthe I’ve had plenty. 4 out of 5 were safari specific problems.
