Nice now fix 3D transforms, SVG animations and clip-path or give me 200 hours of my life back. Safari rendering engine is a bug infested nightmare.

If I remember correctly, Safari addressed many transform-related bugs two years ago, which resulted in me noticing fewer bugs (quite drastically). Around that time, Safari became my primary development browser, which may have also contributed to this observation.

Based on Web Platform Test [0], it looks like Chromium browsers are not performing any better in this area.

But I feel the pain of having to carefully test 2D/3D transform and animation on all browsers across platforms (even Safari on iOS and macOS can have different behaviors).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is a good thing. Most websites that want to send you post notifications just want to spam you. It should be very intentional.

I have never, not once, in the years since websites could ask me if they can send me notifications said “yes, please notify me”. The notification prompt usually is just a reminder I need to go turn off the setting that lets websites ask me this silly question. Who is consenting to these? What is their deal? It makes no sense to me.

Yes, unfortunately there are a lot of bad players. But you say it yourself: "websites" have asked you. Its mostly news sites that think they need to push you. There are proper web apps, that will have the "Enable notifications" button in their settings/preferences and are not spamy in any way.

A web app built with notifications as a core feature? Like conversation reminders.
