Realty.com owner can technically sue the Apple and settle for a million dollars at least

#292Safari is the absolute worst web browser by far. Both mobile and desktop. This kind of egregious error is only the most obvious part. Try doing a WebRTC conference call in Safari. Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Jitsi Meet, etc, etc, etc. None of them support Safari. Do you know why? It's because Safari is absolutely riddled with bugs: [1][2][3]. It is incredible how bad Safari is. [1] https://bugs.webkit.…
It is probably done on purpose so that you use the apps instead of the browser... it's not like they don't have the money to fix it.

I once tried to watch a video sped up in Safari, and the sound was awful. An acquaintance tried to report the bug to Apple years ago, and it went into a black hole. Compare to the public bug trackers for Firefox and Chromium, and it's easy to understand why Safari remains nearly useless.
WebKit has a public bug tracker.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve tried Google Pixel products for Android phone + tablet. They’re expensive, but they are the best. I use both Android and iOS devices regularly everyday. I wouldn’t waste my time on anything but Google products for Android. It’s also the only fair comparison of Android to iOS: when using Pixel, the OS & hardware are dictated by Google just like Apple does with the OS & hardware for its pho…
Battery life for me is important on my phone. So I just can’t use android, period. Every android phone I’ve had or people I know. The battery is great, but as you download apps it gets slower, and laggier, and battery life shortens. That simply just doesn’t happen on an iPhone. This happens even with an expensive pixel or a Samsung and large battery. People can complain the battery is smaller in iPhone, but it still…
This is new for me. I use Android myself, and people around me are mixed of Android and iPhone users. All iPhones users I know carry mobile battery. None of the Android users I know do (well, technically they do, but it is almost never used)

#296As an android user who has an apple-only-girlfriend... I'm always amazed at how exceptionally terrible autocomplete is on her iPhone, and how much better the Android counterpart is. Lol the complete absolute nonsense the iPhone of hers will predict is crazy for a premium phone from the worlds most valuable company. Not hating (I love their hardware - not software) just wondering why is it so bad on Apple ? Is there like a setting she must switch on like "Planet Earth English" ?
Re: When you type realty.com into Safari it takes you to realtor.com
#297This has been driving me mad for the better part of a year: the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken. Last year it started picking words from your query and going through your history and using that to autocomplete so you'd always go to some random thing from your history that's barely relevant even for the most generic search terms (if I type "ptrace" I want to go to a web search, not some random Stack…
> the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken. I'm looking for a genuine honest answer here, this really isn't rhetorical. Every second thread regarding Apple seems to have top comments complaining about the quality of what Apple has become. The first I recall was the butterfly keyboard fiasco, then some others, then El Capitan and Big Sur bugs, then this. Again, I really want to understand this: why the co…
Right ! I sorta started to approach the subject with my girlfriend that works on only apple and 99/100 of her tasks are browser based... I sorta mentioned (after she complained again about xyz of apple) maybe we can get her a nice Linux desktop/laptop.... I was nearly single again..

Maybe she’s the problem? It “learns” as you go based on your habits, so she probably just writes very differently from you.

#299I think this is symptomatic of the really overzealous approach that Apple has towards autocomplete and autocorrect these days. The autocorrect has a nasty habit of replacing my correct sentences containing absolutely normal non-technical vocabulary with annoyingly incorrect garbage. It routinely replaces “well” with “we’ll” when it makes absolutely no sense to do so, and generally adds apostrophes all over the place. Not to mention the way it handles names. Sometimes I want my name to not be capitalised, such as in my email address. Even pressing backspace, then typing the same thing in again after it autocorrects incorrectly doesn’t solve anything.

Aha! Same here, it looks like maybe DDG vs Google is the real difference here?
iPhone X here, running iOS 13.5.1. I have Google set as my search engine in Safari. When I type sketch and press return I am taken to the Google Search results. Notably, however, I have “Search Engine Suggestions” turned off in my Safari settings, and I also have “Safari Suggestions” turned off in my Safari settings. I’ve turned them off a while back because they were more of a nuisance than a help. Maybe you and oth…
I have "Search Engine Suggestions" and "Safari Suggestions" both enabled, Google as "Search Engine" and I see the same behaviour as you (typing "sketch" RETURN in safari address bar takes me to the Google search results).
