    Safari is the new IE

    @jAsE honestly, un-ironically to a degree. IE got more people online than anything else. Now, M$ monopolistic practices behind it doomed it to be hellish, but there is something to be said for ubiquity.

    @kamen this phrase always gets my apple boi collaugues very mad, but it's true

    @Manuch Now that IE is no more and Edge is Chromium-based, it's exactly Safari that usually ends up needing extra attention (from web dev perspective). Not even Firefox, even though it uses a different engine.

    @kamen it’s not FireFox because everybody normal references MDN. And then there’s Apple.

    @hack if support Drops and Banner shows Alternative, the user will change Browsers.

    Better to drop Windows Support and see then how the World is changing.

    @kamen and they only get their support if they opensource all their software.

    And force Adobe to support Linux.

    @max19931 I believe they wouldn't open source Edge for the same reasons they won't open source VSCode (the proprietary part of it), although there isn't a whole lot of infrastructure to Edge like there is to VSCode (the extension marketplace) since Edge can use the Chrome marketplace just fine.

    As for Adobe on GNU/Linux, the only thing I can say is "keep dreaming". No intent to sound rude/hostile, I just realistically don't see it happening.
