Safari, the browser that claims to support standards but always comes with caveats, like saying they support transform/transitions and then everything with box shadows flickering

and Safari finds ways to break existing features with every minor update.

My codebase is full of Safari version-specific bug fixes.

Do you not have fixes for other browsers too?

It's also very slow to support new standards, in my experience.

Web push notifications literally took years to make it from macOS to iOS, for example. (Yes, these are commonly abused for spam and other user-hostile things; no, I don't think that's a valid reason to withhold them from the only acceptable browser on their OS entirely.)

Depends what you’re looking at. They’re very fast at CSS and JS language features

They adopt new web APIs much more cautiously - or they drag their feet - depending on your perspective
