Safari, the browser that claims to support standards but always comes with caveats, like saying they support transform/transitions and then everything with box shadows flickering

and Safari finds ways to break existing features with every minor update.

My codebase is full of Safari version-specific bug fixes.

Do you not have fixes for other browsers too?

No

Other browsers are updated more frequently and do not need OS updates.

Safari users are left behind with a broken browser.

I have more iOS 16.1 users (specific version) than all Chrome users with 6+ months old versions.
