Safari Team Asks for Feedback Amid Accusations That 'Safari Is the Worst, It's the New IE'

It’s works sometimes… and it’s stable when it wants too… like iCloud going out every few weeks
Because you live in the Apple bubble where Apple does no wrong, I like Apple a lot but I can ca them out of safari and iCloud needing to revamped after with the outages that keeping happening on iCloud, because it just works, right ?
To what? A previous version???? How? Apple locks you into the new version when you upgrade any software! And yes, this is yet another horrible issue with Apple software. If you try it, and discover it's broken, you can't wind it back, and you're stuck with all the new bugs.
The Apple consumer syndrome, let's all pay for half baked extensions & ad blockers, because.. cough cough "privacy".
Seriously, works better than 99.99% of the "paid" ones.
I love safari, except for that when you open Macrumors with Safari, it often causes the devices to overheat and have battery drain.
15 pages huh.
Anyway, I don’t want to repeat myself. Here is what I want to say.

(RANT) Safari is a literal piece of (beep)

Good points, but I think these are webkit developers that want to know about the problem with rendering. I don’t see too many posts, even in this thread, specifically about how webkit is lacking.15 pages huh.

WebKit is mostly under the hood where problems resides on other area, UI, experience, interaction etc. That’s why.
Safari on Mac is the slowest browser to me in this day. Even though I’m quite an Apple fanboy I can’t bring myself to use it as much as Chrome (on Mac).
Please clear cookies from within safari. Having to close tabs and safari itself then go to settings to safari then scroll to clear history and web data is counter intuitive and certainly not privacy minded. Clear all the filth at once from within the browser.
So the Amazon and Google outages that happen just as often I’m sure aren’t important, Right?
I wonder why we don’t here the Google and Amazon fan sites on fire about the major service outage they experienced over the last year alone.
Its odd, because some of those outages were extended and took out other major services

What's wrong is your perception that this is why Safari doesn't work.
I think that’s the point the webkit developer is making. Safari’s problem doesn’t reside in webkit, it’s in the application layer that the webkit developers don’t have a lot of control over.
Developers ARE coding specifically for chrome, it’s been mentioned several times in this thread. Anything that’s coded specifically for chrome won’t work in Safari.
Honestly, I hadn't heard from anyone else that Safari has been getting worse (there have always been haters, but they've been singing the same tune for ages).
That said, with the last update, Google Maps stopped working for me on Safari. None of the buttons show up to choose transportation method, departure time, etc. Weird.

If a webpage doesn‘t work with a browser, it is always Safari.
Also there is no way to save a webpage as an app - and printing output looks horrible
and can‘t be customized due to Apple’s minimalism.
I think Edge is a much better choice - specially like how it allows you to switch between several Microsoft accounts
and allows you to do work - private separation.
They should just open their eyes, use their own tool and compare with competing offers - it isn‘t that difficult to see.

Safari is/was my main browser for years. I don't know what they did to the app, but I had to start using Firefox again because so many pages do not work. Content not being loaded, buttons won't respond, pages stay blank.
On the other hand, according to Safaris own privacy report it did a good job on actually protecting privacy.
Give and take?

I wonder whether that's a DRM issue. Are you using an external display by any chance?
