This exemplifies what the “Safari Is the New IE” crowd doesn’t get — Apple’s priorities for Safari\/WebKit are very different from Google’s for Chrome\/Blink. Innovation and progress aren’t necessarily only about adding new features. 24 percent better battery life is huge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Safari is not IE because it’s not stagnant. But the original post<\/a> resonated with me because Safari is no longer bringing me the whole Web. I spend much of my day in FogBugz<\/a> and Google Docs, and these sites work better in Chrome, or even Firefox, than in Safari. I’ve also had problems with Apple’s own discussion forums in Safari, and there are apparently issues with Apple’s developer site<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n

I love Safari as an app<\/em>. Neither Chrome nor Firefox has ever felt very Mac-like to me. Yet I’m increasingly using Chrome because Safari can’t get the job done. I don’t know whose fault it is that these sites don’t work with Safari, but to me as a user it doesn’t really matter. Improving power efficiency is great, but it would probably save even more battery life if Safari were compatible enough that I didn’t have to keep Chrome running.<\/p>\n

I’m not writing this as a Web developer who wants to deploy a native app experience via HTML and JavaScript. I’m just a Mac user who prefers<\/em> Safari and wants to be able to use it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
