This response has overall been met much better than the initial call to action.

Simmons offered them the opportunity to contact her if they have a link to or a Feedback number from Apple’s Feedback Assistant so their browser issues can be further diagnosed. This led Jen Simmons, Apple evangelist and developer advocate on the Web Developer Experience team for Safari and WebKit, to respond that the judgments made against Safari were “counterproductive,” as users were not detailing specifics in their complaints.

Vague hate is honestly super counterproductive. Many responded with claims of bugs that are several years old and a lack of support on Apple’s part.Įveryone in my mentions saying Safari is the worst, it’s the new IE… Can you point to specific bugs & missing support that frustrate you, inhibit you making websites/apps. The criticism came flooding in after the Safari and WebKit team sent out a call for feedback on Twitter. In response to a call for feedback, some on Twitter have dubbed Apple’s Safari the “new Internet Explorer,” leaving those involved with the ecosystem frustrated at claims that it is the worst of all the current web browsers.
