Biggest deal here (for me) is the HTML 5 download attribute. Without that you cannot name or provide an extension for files that are triggered for download.

Now if we can just get every company that lets you download monthly statements to fill out this field I would be very happy.

The server can do this with the Content-Disposition header. The `download` attribute just lets you trigger downloads (optionally with a filename) for URLs that otherwise wouldn't be downloaded.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My best guess is it's just people tired of seeing someone complain about the $100 developer program membership every time the subject of Safari extensions comes up.

So people get tired of facing reality and down vote whoever makes them peek outside their walled garden. Ok, it's acceptable.

You're being insulting again. If you don't want to be downvoted, you might want to try taking a different tone.

It's not meant for mobile use any more than a Javadoc webpage is. It's a developer resource to consult while coding on your laptop.

Actually, I loaded the link on my iPhone and it is responsively designed at least for Safari on mobile.

On firefox all I see is "Guides and sample code"-heading, a lot of grey and some cut off text.

This is prerelease documentation though. Any idea about when this reaches a stable release? Also, haven't most of these features already been available in the tech preview? https://developer.apple.com/safari/technology-preview/

Support for fetch and async/await, that's pretty big news.

I don't understand the down votes since it's factual that you can't sign your plugins and distribute them inside Safari (AND ALSO keep them automatically updated) unless you pay Apple their anual fee. But well, fanboys will be fanboys.

People may be downvoting you because this meme that Safari needs open development of extensions is tired and they're sick of reading it.

Whew. Custom Elements, Fetch, and async/await all at once? Christmas came real early in 2017...

Does this mean Safari is no longer the new IE? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9804533

Safari is the new IE only if you think Apple is the new Microsoft.

A dubious analogy that works if you squint really hard.
