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.

You can read more about it--Open source is the future. I will talk more about it--later. @ February 7, 2020
