You can't debug it in anything other than a mac

I have users that have issues with Safari, CSS and Javascripts ones.

I MUST own an Apple device to debug anything.

I'm sorry but as a Free Software Web Developer I can't spend 2K€ on a Mac to just fix a CSS issue.

Frequently, but not always, I can reproduce such bugs using Epiphany [1] or other WebKit based browsers.

That's at least somewhat cheaper when it works.

You can buy a refurb Mac mini for €589. Macs haven't started at €2K since the early 90s.

When I was making money as a developer I purchased wintel systems to verify my work. I thought of it as the cost of doing business. Many Macs cost less then 2K euros.

A Mac mini is pretty affordable.

Also you can use browserstack.

More like $200-300 for a used M1 mini or Air…

Or free to just run macOS in a VM if you don’t care about breaking an EULA you never signed in the first place…

They are all telling you "Just buy a mac". Exactly the point that you and I were downvoted for saying.
