From a web developer's standpoint, Safari is basically the modern Internet Explorer, though admittedly less extreme. It's not rare for it to be the last of the major browsers to implement new standards/features, and it's definitely the most common one to have an incomplete and/or buggy implementation. This sometimes goes on for years when Apple just doesn't care about a feature. There are some fairly widely-used standards today that it still has a buggy/incomplete implementation of.
Does it still do that thing where it claims to support a feature but then when you actually try and use it it turns out that it doesn't work? I remember ut used to have a problem with masonry layouts, where it claimed to support them but if you actually used it, it just ignored you and used floats of all things for everything instead.
Literally, none of this is true. Just because you don’t like Safari doesn’t mean you need to lie about it.
