#12No WebP? Safari is about to become out of date, and websites will stop working for it. I'm using WebP on my websites with no fallback to jpeg/png at the end of the year.
Imagine being software developer with a sense of professionalism and dealing with your customers as they are, even if it's annoying a tad bit of extra work, instead of telling them to sod off if they're using a browser you don't like.
Imagine being an actual engineer and caring about correctness and stupid, oldskool stuff like that.

#13Will 2020 be the year when WebKit, and the Safari browsers by extension, will have full and proper support for Service Workers and PWAs on par with other browsers? I recall reading that Safari lags behind on it, and the allegation was that Apple prefers native apps and doesn’t want web apps to be more popular.
Hopefully not. I'd hate to click through "This site wants to push new ads to you. Allow notifications?" modals on my shiny new iPhone (edit: in addition to content being constrained to poststamp-sized areas between GDPR banners).

#14Hard to understand what each of this items mean since there is no tracking issue# mentioned. Some of items cannot even be googled, what's "Turbo DFG"?

HEIF support in Safari would be nice...

Notification support is already a thing, and is separate from PWA support.

While I Personaly wouldn't drop JPEG support yet...
Do non-web software developers support every CPU architecture? Because I'm sure I've heard of apps that not run on macs, or just windows and not Raspberry Pis.

As opposed to every native app that says the same thing?

Browser vendors are finally catching on.
From Firefox 72 permission prompts won’t be shown unless they’re triggered from a user interaction.
From the blog post:
> Notification prompts are very unpopular. On Release, about 99% of notification prompts go unaccepted, with 48% being actively denied by the user.

I’ve heard Chrome is moving in a similar direction

#20We use WebKitGtk[1] (embedded WebKit) in our presentation software Tech Talk PSE[2]. It would be great if SVG rendering, used for diagrams, was of equal quality to Firefox, but unfortunately Firefox seems to render SVG in a far superior way so we usually have to convert to PNG files to make diagrams embed correctly.
