#2I'm writing this in Safari now, I'm a huge fan. There are several "features" that I actively dislike and disable in other browsers. I wonder if not being implemented in mobile safari is preventing them from being required in some webpages.
* Vibration
* Background Sync
* Bluetooth
* NFC
* Notifications
* Web Push

Keep going Apple.

#5Absolutely nothing listed on that site as unsupported by Safari has any business being part of the web. In fact several supported APIs should be chucked too. Fuck giving websites motion data or push notifications.

#7Frankly I am very happy indeed for Apple to "cripple" Safari.
99.9% of the things listed in that stupid table in the blog just stink of being potential attack vectors.
And we know just how heavily smartphones are targeted and how smart and sneaky some of the latest vectors are.

This is the first time I've actually heard the opinion that someone thinks we need more apps instead of more functional websites.

yeah I'm using mobile Firefox and it has an awfully high overlap with Safari. Almost like a bunch of the stuff Chrome supports isn't actually a standard at all yet...
