Safari wasn't competitive enough. Because not open platform. -Open source is the future.

 

I've seen this tweet:

Everyone in my mentions saying Safari is the worst, it’s the new IE… Can you point to specific bugs & missing support that frustrate you, inhibit you making websites/apps. Bonus points for links to tickets.

Specifics we can fix. Vague hate is honestly super counterproductive.

 I don't know much about the issue because I don't use Safari. But what I don't understand is 'fix the problem' or 'solve the problem' wasn't the fundamental issue, I thought. For example, design flaw or missing function was not the bug, right?

 

So I wrote about in twitter and below writing is almost same as my tweet.

I don't know much about Safari, now. But what I know is nowadays without open platform, you won't be competitive enough.

I googled about market share and I was surprised because Safari does quite good--19.84% source from statcounter.com. Firefox only 4.18%. Chrome 63.03%.
So I thought I was wrong about what I wrote.

Web browser market share wordwide by all platform. source:statcounter.com at February 10, 2022

 

But that's all platform which means smartphone's web browser marketshare included.

So desktop marketshare will show I wasn't wrong.

Safari 9.85% but Firefox also similar like 9.16%. And that's not end there because Edge 9.53% which Microsoft decided to become open source. And chrome wasn't exactly open source but chromium is. So can call open platform.

I didn't google about the Safari but I remember when I was using Safari in Windows several years ago. And I never heard after that.

And Chrome and Firefox all support multiple platform. But I don't think Safari does.

And when I try to make wallet for some cryptocurrency. Many were support web browser app which call the web browser extension or addon. So I can conviniently use cryptowallet.

Oh, sure, many crypto probably have iOS and android app.

But I don't think I have seen any web browser extension app for Safari. Mostly Chrome and Firefox. Sometimes, Edge, too.

 

So I'm quite sure that I can say Safari('s closed platform) can't catch up with open platform like Chrome, Firefox and even Microsoft's Edge.

Here is the what I wrote in the tweets:

(cont) I don't like arguing so seperate #tweet.
My initial thoughts were misinpretered about hate so just skip to the point.

I don't know much about #Safari, now. But what I know is nowadays without #openplatform, you won't be competitive enough. I googled about market share >
