		overgard 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A conspiracy to kill IE6 (2019) These things sit in standards comities for years. Firefox has way fewer resources than everyone else, but Safari has no excuse other than that they mostly can't be bothered, because they'd rather you use an app. And honestly I wouldn't care except they don't let you USE ANY OTHER ENGINE in mobile. If I could just skip Safari I would, but even Chrome on iOS is basically Safari.

Often for s good reason. Once something is in a browser, there's signs no change in hell to fix it or remove it.

Chrome doesn't care. They just ship whatever even if the other vendors are actively against it for many reasons.
