@Carnage said in Microsoft: IE fucked up everything and wasted untold billions of man-hours. Maybe don't use it anymore?:
Also, isn't safari pretty much the new IE of the browsers in that it is out of date, broken and slow to the point of web devs having to write special code just for Safari?
Yes. And it's different if you're using Safari for Windows, Safari for Mac, Mobile Safari on IOS ( as mentioned above), or browser-emulated Safari mode.
If you want to support Safari, you absolutely MUST have a Mac and an iPad around to test with.
Sorry, make that TWO Macs and TWO iPads-- one running the latest OS, and one running a release behind. Because Safari will be different on both those OSes, and not every has upgraded or CAN upgrade to the newest OS.
Or just say "fuck you Safari" and expect people to use Chrome.
fake edit: oh oh oh I almost forgot. If you use Chrome on iOS, that's ALSO a different use-case, because it uses the Safari user agent and (some?) of the rendering engine.
