Ask HN: What Web Standards does Safari/WebKit not implement
A reoccurring argument I see in the Safari/Webkit v.s Other Browsers/Engines debate is that Safari does not adhere to standards. Usually these come down to a feature either: a) still in beta b) pushed by chrome so not a real standard c) is implemented but half-baked, doesn’t work, or stripped down for privacy concerns. I think it would be helpful if, instead of arguing wether Safari’s gatekeeping is saving or stalling the web, we list out the things we can’t do that are actual standards and why. Please be sure not to list anything coming to WebKit in iOS16 as it would lead to redundancy.
